Quarter panel replacement
Getting ready to replace the driver's side quarter panel. I looked in my GM service manual. The job looks pretty straight forward. Just wanted to check with anyone that has done it that might have any tips or suggestions and/or what to look out for or pay close attention to.
Thanks,
Rock

Pretty straight forward, unless you own a early FRC.
Just remove the exposed screws, pop out the tail lights and unbolt the bolts at the seam and the bottom hanger.
Lift off.

Yes this true but some use the words inter-changeably and thus it's better to ask the ***-u-me.
