By quarter panel I assume you mean fender. Is the pass side off or just the d/s. On the inside of the fender is there any signs of the fender moving(scratches around bolts that hold fenders) Are there any other gaps that appear off?
fix action it happens when someone manually jacks up the camaros. If they do not put the jack deep enough under the car it hits the fender/frame attach bolts and warps this small piece of metal which will cause the fenders to bow out and cause that gap. It is actually pretty easily fixed by getting under the car and bending that metal piece back in place. From now on, you should baby your baby and make sure anyone doing anything on your car knows better... it happens a lot!

U said it was the quarter panel, well since there is no way that the bolts could be loose or anything, b/c quarter panels are welded in, fenders are bolted in, just like someone else said it could had been the way it was jacked up, if the car is a t-top car or if u jacked it up near the middle and open the doors while it was jacked up it might had bowed the car a little! u cant open the doors or pull the t-tops out if u hav the car jacked up in the middle or u have done some damage
