Default Damaged rear quarter cut/fold....

I've never performed a quater panel cut&fold, just wondering if it can be done with something like this?
I think at this point it would be easier for me to modify it then try to fix it.









I'm not familiar with how the body comes together yet.
It's a 91 2 door

Yeah, it just takes longer because you have to be careful where you cut it. Mine was smashed on a rock and once we cut it in a few places, paying attention to the lines where we needed to fold it, we got it straightened out enough so we could fold it.

If you can get a hammer and dolly, that helps a lot once the metal is cut.

Alright I believe I can get it done.
That's the first Bleepin Jeep video I've watched, will have to look his channel up.
I recon I'll just cut the lowest part off, just enough to seperate the two pieces, and then try to seperate and flatten them like previously mentioned.
Thanks for the help ya'll.

thats an inch from being a serious PITA, but as it is, I think a C n F is very doable.

No not yet.
We endured a couple of weeks of bad flooding and weather, then work and going out of town for Easter has set me back.
Definately will happen sometime.
I will post some pictures of it when I get to it.
One good thing about set backs is you get to order more parts and research some more.... which equals more down time.
Bitter sweet I recon.
33's and fender trimming will be part of the same project.



And probably some paint as well, just not digging the camo.
