Sorry to see this! The rear quarters are one of the worst places to get hit because its not a bolt on repair like the front fenders, doors, bumpers, etc. But a good body shop can repair it so that no one will ever know it happened. Keep us appraised of the repair process.

Ouch man....that is a bad spot as mentioned!! I feel for you man.

A good shop with metal shrink machines and hammer man is in order....they will have to get in behind there though.....It's amazing how metal will find its way back to its former shape. You will loose the e-coat on the fender though. It's likely the door will have to be painted as well

As mentioned cutting and welding in a new panel is to be avoided....in my opinion

Totally repairable as mentioned
