Default body panel welding?

I have done plenty of body work with body and dent rollers/removers.

but i have never learned how to weld on new rear quater panels.

its a process but it can be done, i have done atleast 50+ quater replacements, but there are pretty strict guidelines that should be followed, and certain areas to Section in. what are these going on?

oh so its just the lower section, i was thinking full qtr replacement, best thing to do is measure it out, trim it so it fits nice, then butt weld it, er tack weld it till you have a solid line all the way, then you can grind the welds and apply filler.
