I've been trying to get my lower passenger side replacement quarter panel to line up for the past three hours this evening... it's now 10:30 PM and i have still not gotten it to line up.. Any hints on how to get the top seam to line up?? or how to get the rear of the quarter, by the rear corner of the truck, squeezed together so the gaps can be a reasonable distance??
How can i clamp the top two seams together? Sheet metal screws or what? I'm kind of at a loss... THis is all i have left on my body work so i can take the body off and blast and por15 the frame and instal my suspension... I really need some help/hints on this ASAP, b/c i'm only home for two more days and i need to get this done so the next time i come home, thanksgiving, i can remove the body... I need your help guys.. thanks

just as a note, i'm a really good body man, have already done both floor pans, kick panels, inner rockers, fender aprons, driver's side rocker, both door posts... etc... and i've done MANY mustang quarter panels.. but this bronco quarter is a real kick in the butt...the welding/finishing of the panel is the easy part... i just cant get the seams squeezed together b/c you can not clamp them and suck them together like all other panels... thanks..
