Just checked with the team and inspected the four verts currently in process... it's not practical.
The rear quarter is SO deeply integrated into the structure, welded in so many places, that removal from the car is a SERIOUS project. NOTHING like the front fenders.

As for pix, turns out they are all customer cars, so we generally don't allow posting of those, sorry.

Yeah, I never really checked closly, just eyeballed it,............bummer.

But thanks for the effort anyway Jer,

Took a survey, you still get to keep the compliments, :).

LOL... funny stuff, man.
Yeah, that back section is NOT like older cars (bolt on/bolt off)... In the words of my Body Shop Supervisor, "You'd pay the widebody install price just to get it OFF again!"
