Default Question on body work

I've got to replace the rear p/side quarter panel for my 99 Mustang.
Can I do this on my own without a shop and has anyone ever done a tutorial on this?

Thanks.

That's pretty much it!

The only thing corvetteguy left out was to use the word "well" at the end of every line.You can also add several lines of "sand and fill" as it's impossible to get it right with a couple of passes.
Since you asked what is involved,you don't know how to do bodywork and should leave this job to a shop,a professional shop!
