There is a shop local who has a surface plate with all tooling to completely repanel a complete first gen F body, I asked him about the quarter fitment - he explained that the recess where the quarter meets the rear tail pan needs VERY little massaging in the curve that meets the tail pan... and then showed me. I was asking about the trunk gap and people sectioning the top of the quarter to get the gap correct. He said the pocket where the tail pan meets the quarter must be very slightly massaged with a body hammer then the quarter fits up perfectly...
They will completely repanel and gap the body for 13k and have it done in 2-3 weeks.
