Very nice, me and my dad found rust in the lower rear part of the quarter panels, and I got some holes that were carefully covered up with bondo. I don't want holes in my car, nor do I want them to be "fixed" by a patch. So were thinking of getting the patch panels which go from the wheel to the end of the car, and cut out a big enough section to get that patch panel welded in. Would you recommend that or a full quarter panel? As near as we can tell there is nothing wrong with the rest of it, just the corners.
Go with the patch if you can get away with it. Strip the quarter to bare metal before you decide though. That way you will know exactly what you will need.
lets say i'm sanding down my car, but i don't have a garage to keep it in and (even if i had a garage) it might be a few days after i'm done sanding it before i get to doing anything else to it. is there something you would reccommend putting on the bare metal to keep it from rusting out?

Dad's using paint stripper right now, so far it looks like just that rear section for the right side. Left side we'll have to wait and see.
