Specific brand recommendations for rear quarters?

[bosshoff]

I am beginning the process of repairing/replacing the rear quarters on my 1996 daily driver. I want to know if anyone has a specific brand recommendations for replacement rear quarter panels. I have been around replacement fenders that were for a service van we had, and they were really thin and tinny sounding once installed. There was no comparison between the replacement panel and the OEM panel. I do not want to order a set of new quarters from LMB, JBG, etc. and find out they are not even close to OEM quality. I know there are a lot of companies that provide these. Which have you used, and which can you recommend I either go with, or even stay away from?

Thank you.

I used Browns Rust Repair Supply for my Fender replacement. The 1/4's were thicker than the stock sheet metal.

I am thinking of using repair panels to fix my rusted rear fender openings over my wheel wells. I plan on glueing them into place using SEM panel adhesive. (I already have the gun, and like the product). I have a vice-grip flange tool. My question is which part do I flange? I would think I would want the old fender to be straight, and my replacement panel to be flanged. This way the repair panel buts up behind the OEM Ford rear fenders, etc. Am I correct with this?
I did think it would be easier to flange the Bronco, and strip off the outside paint to accept the flat repair panel? What do you guys think?

I'm not an expert. but I would flange the metal on the Bronco, main reason being if you flange the repair panel so it butts up behind the original metal, now you have created a seam for moisture to build in, meaning more rusting later

Flange the old fender and leave the repair panel flat.
