That is stock, you can separate, install weld the spot weld holes from inside, but you will need more than the inspection cover hole. I would consider gluing it if you can get it all clean, way less chance of future rust.

I cut the lip on the new quarter back enough for it to fit in place, then welded solid across this short area, then carefully grind a faux body line. it will look same as factory.

Just to follow up on the qtr panel work. Did you have any issues when you installed the side marker bezels. Seem when I try them on the skins it does not fit snug. |

I can only wish I was far enough along to even think about the bezel.
have not even checked that. I will say though, a non perfect fit won't bother me at all if i'm to the point of installing it. that pic of the quarter area in question reveals a wonderfully dry rust free area. jealous of that! mine sure wasn't. as far as rust proofing there, thats why I like por15. I used it in this area prior to the quarter install, then once installed I soaked a brush and went thru the door jamb access and let it seep real good in there, and then used internal frame coating tubes, then sprayed epoxy primer thru it. (I put a 2" brush on wire, even on a broomstick to push up in to the rocker panel.) my overkill ways. rustproofed for the next guy. |

Fit the bezels BEFORE paint. I had to use a die grinder to slightly move over one side to make it "drop down" into the panel. Not noticed once painted.

triggered me to check mine. yes they will need the mount holes massaged over to move the bezel.

Couple points.
1. The quarter panel stamp for the recessed bezel is tapered a bit on one side ( front?) and more of a shelf ( factory) on the other side. I have ended up slightly moving to the bezel to a more neutral position. 2. The bezel can sit a tiny bit deep. I dont think it mattered much, BUT you can put a plastic washer on the bezel studs I suppose. This is the best we have to work with .
