im guessing you hit a pole... when my rear qp was damaged (above the driver wheel) it wasnt as bad as yours. IMO to get it fixed good your looking at maybe 2500. it seems pretty deep and the gap between the hatch is f'ed

you might not need to buy a new rear QP. its welded in so thats going to cost a **** ton to get fixed.

he could but its the bodywork thats gonna kill him on that. i had that option with mine but it was the labor charge that killed it since theres so much more needed for welding and making the gaps right compared to just pulling out the dent

^If he has the skill to do that. Welding in patch panels and making it look like nothing ever happened is difficult. There's a reason good body men charge so much.

Have someone cut and weld new piece in place - some body shops do wonders.

You're probably going to want to get that dent removed instead of replacing with a new weld in panel.

A firebird and trans am has the same quarter panels.
I don't think what year it is between 93-02 matters.

You wont need a new quarter panel. Mine was in much worse shape and my bodyman brought it out real well.

I did something much worse before. It cost me around 1500 to repair it. maybe a little more. Just got to find the right people I say man.
