For starters, the panel has a bit of a &#8220;bow&#8221; to it from being pushed in right here. I used a unispotter to weld these studs on, and then a slide-hammer to pull on it. This got it out pretty close, will have to level the rest with filler.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.60impala.com\/arc\/driversquarternightmare1.jpg\" alt=\"Pull out the dents with studs\" title=\"Pull out the dents with studs\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So then I test for some rust again, and dangit, more rust!

I tested the other side of the car too, poking at it with the awl, but it seemed to be solid.. so I&#8217;m goona gamble that the other side will be OK. This side, the drivers side, does seem to be the rusty side of the car, so I guess this shoudln&#8217;t be any suprise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.60impala.com\/arc\/driversquarternightmare3.jpg\" alt=\"Shit the bed!\" title=\"Shit the bed!\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The drivers side quarter panel on this car really should be completely replaced&#8230; but we already did the lower rear section.
