quarter panel bracing help
hey ill start off by telling to a little about my car its a 88 mustang gt not lowered no sub frame connectors (in the box). the damage of the passenger side quarter is more in the front next to the door and a little of the outer wheel well oh and what looks like a nice punch by the window. i was wondering if there was any other place i should brace besides the rear trunk/ hatch and the passenger side door. i have the bracing as close as i could get it to the quarter with out getting in my way. i wasn't to sure if i should put the car on jack stands being that the center of the car would flex. the reason i ask is because the car isn't sitting on level ground its more towards the driver side. im trying to make this project as trouble free as i can.
my last question is how i should remove it. i know with spot cutters. i bought a really good set off the tool guy. i just figuring if i did it piece by piece would it be easier.
if you need pictures i can get them asap any information would be greatly appreciated.

post pics of said damage... you can probably pull the dent without replacing the 1/4s
are they rotted out or just dented? dents can be solved with a hammer and dolley
if you have to go through the trouble of cutting the car apart.... just get a roller 4 banger lx body and transfer it all over...

i did use a hammer and dolly but i ran out of room for the tight areas i even used a dent puller but some areas are folded and kinked, i would need some good coverage of bondo, and im not a fan for think mud it only cracks over the years. i forgot to mention i already have a 4 banger well only part of it. i got the quarter no to long ago. im not arfaid to put the time into it but i really dont want to switch a whole car to another. so i have to work with what i got here.
