I'm in the process of replacing the quarter panels on my car. I was told by some people that the car needs to be supported at the front and the back. It was recently suggested to me that I should have supports in the middle of the car also. I've attached some photos to show how I have my car sitting right now. Will this work while putting new quarters on? Also, there's a photo that shows the set up that was suggested to me. Which is the right way? The other option I have is to put the suspension and rear end in and install them while on the ground. Which is the best route to go??? Any advice would be greatly appreciated as I only feel like doing this once. Thanks in advance.

Looking at were you are I would put the suspension back in and make it roller Setting on all 4 wheels
Then hang your doors, nose, quarters and trunk..get all the lines right then finish up the quarters. That way you will know what you have. You should do this mock up or you will be fighting lines and once the qrts are on they can't be moved

Yeah, I agree with comp-spec. What he described is the preferred method and exactly what we did with my car. See picture below:

Thanks guys. That's what I'm going to do. That way it will also give me an opportunity to see what the G-Bar suspension looks like with the Moser M9. Thanks again for the help.
