I have access to a parts car w/ good rear quarter panels. Could be going to the crusher soon.
No, I don't need them right now.
However, since they're free I thought I might cut them off and save them.
is this a misplaced idea? how bad would it be to cut them off?
I'm guessing a decent amount of troulbe, especially since I would need to get as much of them off w/o knowing what exactly I would need in the future.

For your purposes now...You can just cut the quarters off and then clean and seperate the metal later.

Just cut about an inch or more outside of the original welded spots. Then with an air chisel you should be able to seperate the the pieces where they are put together.

I haven't done this with an F-body, but numerous times on other cars. I grew up working in a part time body shop with my Dad.
