WTF???

How to straighten that backseat/speaker frame? Must been a helluva hit.

You'll have to remove sieve that used to be a quarter ,set it up on frame rack,weld a few tabs and pull,once everything is pulled straight,cut the tabs off and clean off the welds

yeah would put it on
a frame rack ! to see whats  going on
although this looks like something crushing , not so much hitting
impact , hard to say really with out more pictures
look at the creases in the metal , in the door jam where the striker is , looks a down ward impact although,there is big damage there done some time in the past also & different times      


, would check every thing looks like some dude has cut some massive corners in that repair !!  once all dimensions have been checked & altered if necessary , could try working the metal in place or remove said piece , straighten & weld it back in  
are you starting a total resto ??  ,

Any more pics of the outside of the quarter?

Some body guys really should stop asking money for the work they deliver.....They even drilled holes to let the filler attach better to the panel

Picture #2 . . . I couldn't quite tell what I was looking at at first! It looks like they just cut out some of the old quarter and overlapped it with a new patch.

regardless if it's a bump,push,squeeze,crush,hit,it needs to be pulled out and without removing the remnants of the quarter,welding tabs you will not be able to get that kink out

yep that true  !!all needs cutting off  ,
not that it really matters as it all needs removing  , but how has the outer quarter been attached   cant see weld through anywhere  
stuck the outer quarter on

Thanks for the input! The patch is attached by pop rivets and bondo.Everything looks normal from outside.I was planing of doing a total resto someday, but not right now.Frame rails are solid, but some panels has to be replace of course.Car needs some mechanical work, but its drivable as is and I don't have money to do a total resto right now.

oh right i see !! well at least all the important metal to do the job is being repoped    could  always do a section at a time !  ie , just sort the quarter etc etc !!

I have the door jam piece that I removed from a 68 has all the seems you can have it if you want it for shipping the shipping cost.

Lots cheaper that the repops

Thanks for the offer, but I have to buy other parts and money is kinda low right now.
