cherokee quarter pannel damage/HD skins ideas?
ok guys my quarter pannel on my cherokee is pretty screwed up, idk what else to do but this is my idea...
i also posted this on jeepforum i want to get as many ideas as possible
there was a guy on jeepforum that made tube fenders with HD fenders/quarters
i want to take that same idea (without the tube fenders) and use to put on the quarter and bolt it to the dent (so it will pull the dent out while leaving the heavy steel over it, then i would silicone or seal the seam where the thick metal meets the dent/quarter and bed line over top of it
its kind of hard to explain i hope i was clear enough
these are the tube fenders/HD quarters
and this is my dent (hard to see with mud and primer)
(im talking about the part between the door and the flare)
sorry for hurting your eyes with my dumpy ride :\

dents add character and usually good stories lol leave em lol , i dont see just screwing thick metal to the quarters actually pulling your dents , your best bet for that route would be pull your interior trim and try to hammer and dolly the dents outs as best you can , and to put that steel plateing i would recomend using some kind of backing to screw into while the interior panels are off , maybe some sort of box tubing

if your botling them then that means your pulling your interior panels , i would deff try to beat em back out a little , and instead of washers i would use a longer peice of metel , even a decent thickness of flat stock , you'll get more support that way

the dent is suprisingly a PITA to pound back, i was using a 4lb hammer and pounding out pieces with a 2'' square tube and kicking with my foot, i cant get it to move much
and i dont mind taking the interior out, i gotta do it anyway to get rid of the soaked carpet and bed line the whole floor and make water drains
i could care less about the door leaking and all that i just dont want to see a massive crater in my jeep haha
and yeah "battle scars" this jeep was gonna be the parts jeep for my teal 2 door, but this is rust free and had everything i wanted the teal one to have so i put this on the road
the whole front end was smashed off of it so i swapped everything over, i got it for 350$ from a body shop in CT
and this is what i made!

i think he made them himself, either way im just looking to do the same thing without the fancyness or the price tag. i prefer 20$ in flat steel rather than 300 for a whole HD quarter and tail light

no he did buy them from THOR. So how are you going to roll the steel to match the contour of the quarter panel?

there isnt that much of a contour, we drive big boxes lol. when i set a sheet of metal on there it doent need to bend too far so im thinking the tension from the bolts will flex it just enough for me to silicone/bedline

the "hd quarter" is 2-3x the thickness of OEM sheet metal so the HD quarter wont bend it will pull the smashed up OEM metal out and ill be leaving the thick metal on for protection down the road
