i have read plenty on cut and folding rear lower quarter panels, but mine are to far gone......does anyone have a write or know how on how to cut and weld in new metal? this is my first time so be gentle on me!!!

Cut the outside and inside metal even then weld in a piece of metal flat on the bottom. Use some 14ga.

Replacing the metal with something a little thicker than stock may work in your favor. The reason is because it may be easier for you to weld thicker material to thinner.

Or you could simply tack weld it all around. As Kippo said, it's a straight forward process. Mine were too rusted to work with, so I had no choice:

Post a pic. People have different ideas of what a lot of rust is.

I'm new to welding myself and have similar issues. I was planning to measure a good one from another jeep, then make a cardboard template. Once I cut it out I can weld the inner and outer shell together on my table then clamp it in place on the Jeep and weld it in. Might not look like a factory weld but it will be clean and painted black anyway.

I think you can also buy that section complete from a lot of websites and weld it in but that kind of blows the budget.
