Would love some advice

Thanks. I am going to start that work this weekend and also do a build thread. What makes me nervous about doing a full quarter is the fact is that this will be my attempt at big metal work. The Passenger side looks way better at least on the surface of the paint, time will tell what is underneath. I will link my build thread here, after I get it all together. :)
If you don't need a full quarter, don't do it. Just do a lower patch. The more original sheet metal, the better. If you do a full quarter, take your time, and don't go into the door opening. I stayed two or three inches out of the door opening, and didnt go over the top edge of the body. I stayed down in the first body line, which is the top body line that is approximately 1 3/4" and gets narrower into the door opening. There is some work involved filling the weld flanges, and warpage. I didn't do the welding on mine, but I am finishing the body/filler work, and it is teidious and requires patience. My advice is, be patient, and don't let anything pass as finished if you know/feel it isn't perfect or up to your standards.
