The piece I removed had accident and corrosion damage, but was still straightened out to guesstimate the size and shape. Roughed in a piece of 20ga metal and clamped into place. Left some extra metal and fit quarter panel to finalize contour and width. Removed the quarter, trimmed it, epoxy coated and then installed quarter panel. Unfortunately no photos of it finished.

So my car was very rusted in that area. lower filler must have been rotted away so I was not even aware there was a lower filler.

I was under the impression the only filler was the upper ones.

so as it turns out, the way I did it was I drilled holes thru the flanges that come together back there and spot welded it all together. worked great and I had assumed thats what the factory did.

in looking there now I see where the fairly small area could have a filler. the only advantage to the filler seems to me would have been assembly line efficiency purpose and a "shield" to block road debris from the rear tire.

however, I used 74 and up exhaust splitters on mine and the splitters block that area from road debris anyway. if I were to loosen the exhaust I could actually easily still weld in a shield filler. but I won't. hobby car so its not ever going to see water/mud etc.

so should other folks run into the same thing, you can apply the filler delete option no harm, no foul. lol
