Obviously, Just because I am asking - my coupe needs some metal work, but it's not as bad as it sounds. The rear sub rails are very solid, but both are damaged at the body bolt holes, the rear inner fender are slightly rusted on the outside just above the bottom fold over as it goes into the sub rail. There is no access to the sub rail without sectioning the inner fender, or at least the bottom 3" or so. I am looking for the best outcome of all possible alternatives.

Have any of you pulled the entire quarter panel off the car in one piece, for either or both repairs? How difficult was it for you, what problems did you encounter , and what suggestions would you offer up in order to make the job somewhat easier for me and possibly the next guy.... ? Thanks
