In the words of Dr. McCoy....

"He's dead Jim..."

By the time you source another good quarter panel, fix it, etc you'd be much more ahead just finding another car with a decent body and swap your other parts.

get a stud welder, weld some studs on, and get a puller and a cumalong, and start pulling. Someone did that on another form, worked decent. Your gonna have a hell of a time getting the trunk to close right

stud welders are for cosmetics. that is more than cosmetic.

if the other side isnt too bad you are at least gonna hafta cut the d.side quarter off and fix the inner structure on this side....if the other side is swayed out, its gonna need a visit to the frame rack.

if you like body work, go for it. i would get another and move all the good parts over.

now that you say that the guy welded bolts to the panel, bolted a cumalong to it connected it to a tree and pulled the  out of it
