72 Fastback restoration

Just an opinion, but I would say saving the quarters is more a personal preference than anything. I haven't seen depressed values based upon full quarter replacements vs only patching. Quarters are usually pretty expensive to have replaced, but aren't that hard to do if you have any welding experience.

How close to the well? You might need out wheel houses too. We did anyway-we went with a new skin due to excessive prior repairs from collision damage, and had to replace the housing on the drivers side. We did the whole deal on the pass side-had a quarter and inner/outer wheel houses from another car grafted in. As far as cost, ask the guy you choose-some might also not want to try a small patch, knowing there could be more issues hindin outside of the patch area that they find while cutting...
