Default 1965 Fastback quarter panel replacement and rust repair

The owner of this 1965 Fastback found us on a forum and brought us this nice original paint Mustang from out of state. He has replaced the front floor pans, right fender apron, taillight panel and patched the right quarter panel. He was not happy with how the quarter came out and wanted Brian to replace the quarter along with a little rust repair.

This is how it looked when we got it.

We sent it out for sandblasting and they only did the interior, undercarriage and engine compartment and we sanded the body with 80 grit on a DA.

One of the first things Brian patched on the body was the rear window channel
