The seam along the door edge is visible in this shot. All we did here was to align the panesl and slice the two together creating a 1/32" gap which we welded together. If you take you time and don't get the panels too hot this will yield you a great seam that fills with minimal effort.

The big 7 foot weld done and ground smooth. The best way to do this is to put a spot weld every 12" and hit them with the air gun to cool them as you go. Then start at the beginning again and split the two welds with another and so forth and so forth. When you are done the seam will be strong and fairly straight. I cannot stress how important it is to keep the panel cool as you go. If it gets too hot then it will "oilcan" when you are done and require shrinking to remedy that problem.

This is an overhead shot of the new trunk lip and slice of quarter going into the car. Why this car rusted here I have no idea but it made for an interesting day. I got the pieces from a donor car and split the support rail from the quarter panel part I needed to replace. I cut the old rusted support out and welded the new one in then seamed the replacement quarter panel part on top of it. A long day of welding, grinding and fitting came out pretty well.

The gold piece is the lip from the donor car and the top of the quarter is also from the same car.
