Quick update. I had the rear quarters and sill replaced. Tried to keep as much of the original sheet metal as possible and just replace the major rot. Didn't want to get too far down the rabbit hole in bodywork otherwise, I feel like it would quickly spiral.
Initial Cutting
Panels Welded In:
Used the quarters and rear sill from Real Steel Cruiser Parts. Took a few weeks from order to get in, but they were well made parts.
Decided to delete the body-mounted spare mount while working on this.
Quick Primer Coat: Need to figure out the best way to blend in the new paint with the old. The idea is to just take a hinge to an auto paint store and have them mix up a rattle can and do my best to blend it in.
