Default C3 quarter panel

Hey guys.
Had a little incident a while back with my left rear tire shredding and destroying the quarter panel. I had a thread on it some of you may remember.
I finally got the replacement panel and am wondering if any of you have a link you can send me from the Ecklers (or other) book detailing how to go about fixing this.
I don't want to just tear into it until I have some understanding of what I need to do. I know that I can buy the books and will if need be but I'm trying to save a dollar or three here first.
Thanks in advance for any help you may be able to give.

I believe ChocDog just took the quarters off of her 69 to get rid of some flairs. Perhaps she can show you some pictures of how much fender she took off to get to the bonding seam.
This picture shows the seam intact.
Regards,
Alan
