CDA 455 II
ANFAQUE2
How would one go about taking this sheet metal quarter panel:
And placing/mounting it over my existing quarter panel:
BACKSTORY:
When I did the 1ton rear axle swap I used my old '99.5 F-350 front leaf springs, in turn it moved the axle rearward 5" (which I specifically wanted).
I got a little carried away with the cutoff wheel on the rear part of the wheelwell.
My thinking is to take an LMC sheet metal panel for a '92 to '96 long bed truck/center the wheelwell over the tire AND mount/install over existing quarter panel.
MY QUESTION: HOW CAN I DO THIS?
I'm interested in function first; form second.
My first thought is to use .25" rivets to mount it.
Most of the flared part of the wheelwell is rusted through, so I'm probably going to just cut out the whole wheelwell flare so the replacement panel can lay flat over it.
Any suggestions on a simple way to mount said replacement quarter panel besides using .25" rivets?
From 20ft away I want it to look like factory quarter panel at first glance.
