  how do you properly install rear body panel. can't get any help from lebaron bonney. this is the panel that goes below the quarter window and over the wheel well. the wheel well cause the panel to standoff and a big gap is left around the door area and below qtr window. Appreciate all the help you can provide. thanks. richard hall 325-379-3050

  That panel is brad nailed into the tack strips below the window and the tacks strips(wood bracing) at the door jamb. It bends around the wheel well and is then nailed. Once the nails are driven in you use a needle to pull the material over the nail heads to hide them. Make sure your windlace is installed first around the door jamb.
