im cutting my lower quarters. the part behind the tire. anyone do a write-up. im letting my sawzall battery charge and im wondering how everyone else does it...

 

cutting wheel rather than a sawzall. More control, cleaner cuts. You'll need to weld in a piece of plate to join the outer quarter back with the inner body.

 

i was gonna fold... easier just to spot weld in new panel and seam seal?

 

That works too. Didn't know how much you're planning on cutting.

Hello,

See qtr panel cut link in my sig line.
I cut front out, left inner panel long and then folded flat and welded back together.

wow, thanks! mine was too rusted to go that exact and pretty route. but i got 2 more cuts to make. i folded it all but im gonna put a plate on the bottom to clean it up.

 

I used a sawzall and a speedy cut wheel and cut it out completely due to it being damaged. I used some 16 gauge and bent it up and screwed it in place and sealed with some seam sealer.

 

right. im basically doin that.saved as much as i could. my sawzall skills are pretty good.

the original owner cut and folded the rear wheelwell and ****ed it all up so im doin an entire overhaul...

 

I did it as well, pics in my build thread.

A sawzall will make some parts easier.

I did this along with a mini tub of the rear wells. Looks goot! VERY VERY GOOT

 

I first read this modification thread probably over a year ago. Great DIY on the cut-n-fold method. Jake really did a good job on the overall jeep build and has some fender flares made to work with the cut rear quarter panels!
