Where do the rear 1/4 panels deform with high torque?
Is it between the rear wheel and door 6 inches or so up from the rocker panel or up on top around where the sail panel meets it?

No disrespect here but does it actully start to "warp" or "bend" with even stock torque? I have most of the bolt ons and I haven't seen seen any warping or bending. I haven't actually looked at the 1/4 closely tho. I guess it all comes from coming out of a dig hard? I always roll when I take off. Hmm, just got off work so my words or sentences might be weird!? lol

they'll start at the top off the qaurter panel just below the roof line,yes stock torque can do it ,ecspeacially if you get sideways alot and suddenly let off the gas,making the car jerk back straight.But the is a little ripple across the top but that just from the factory stamping or the qaurter.

I have owned 12 f-bodies. About 10 out of the 12 had these dents. The 2 that didn't one was brought off the showroom floor the other had about 20000 miles on it

Back when I was relatively close to stock, I started to get smaller dimples right above the rear tires. Fortunately, all it took to remedy the problem was a nice set of weld-in sub-frame connectors. Not that I'm a good ways away from stock, I'm certain the SFC's have saved me from my fair share of rear quarter panel dimples.
