Trunk gap problem after new 1/4's

Yes I am resurrecting an old thread. Perhaps those thinking of doing this work will find this info useful. The AMD quarters look great when you unpack them. The idea of slapping them on and having everything fit with the existing panels is apparently a fantasy. I'm working on installing a set and have the same door fit and trunk fit issues as the OP. The door fit you can fix by clamping or prying the quarter to match the door contour. Another member here has a thread mentioning this too. You have to leave the door on through this process to get fitment correct before welding. I used #6 Tek screws to hold the quarter in place before welding. On mine the trunk gap gets too small on the driver rear just like the pic the OP posted. This misalignment seems to be build into the quarter stamping. I'm down to zero clearance at the extension to trunk lid lower rear corner. There is no fixing that as far as I can see. All I can think to do is trim the trunk lid down most of the left side to match and weld up the seam again. The trunk gap on the other side is much better. One of the other things I noticed (there are other defects too) is that my door gap is 1/8" bigger on both sides of the car after installing the quarters. I measured them before cutting the original quarters off and wrote the numbers on the door in felt. The car has frame connectors so nothing moved. The number of hours to get everything fitting well and get good gaps will be staggering. If I had to go back in time I would have seriously considered just doing the lower quarters.
