Well I guessing that with all the work your doing to this car that you have it pretty well striped down to the shell? All glass is out? Doors, fenders, deck lid, bumpers, trim ect all off?
First remove the lead or plastic filler at the roof seam. Then start drilling the 200 welds all the way around the edges of the quarter. Really one of the easier panels to pull.

Was wondering the same thing but for a 69 roadrunner. Not trying to hijack but figured it's the same topic as the thread.

Sorry thought I had more quarter pics. Have a few thousand pic trapped in my crashed hard drive.
62-74B quarters are pretty much the same.

Now an area the you can not get the drill into is the quarter to dutchman panel seam. I use a blade and hammer here. Carefully work the blade down into the seam. Be sure to go in-between the metal, not into it. Work you way down the seam til you get to a weld. Slowly go over the top of the weld to the other side of it. Turn the blade around and go back the other way. Keep working the weld back and forth. One side then the other. Mostly use the side edge of the blade, not the end edge. All the time watching that your not cutting into the panel. You'll either cut right through the weld or the metal just around the weld. Either is good. After that weld move the blade down to the next and repete. Some welds you'll go right through, some not so easy.
I use this method on several areas. Rear tubs to floor seams. Floor to firewall seam. Quarter to Dutchman seam.
I also do this when drilling the back side of the welds to find and cup the welds. Makes drilling alot faster.

There is lead to melt out at the roof pillar, the bottom of the roof gutter and the quarter to rocker transition. Grind out the small welds at the rocker to quarter, at roof seam and brass brazing at the upper trunk gutter. Drill out all the spot welds down the trunk gutter, to the deck fill panel, down into window corners and up the inside rear window opening before the transition, roof to quarter, inner quarter support, in the jam, rocker to quarter transition, inner rocker to quarter supports, wheel wells, quarter to extensions, quarter to fill panel and rear cross member and you'll be set...Take the time to check out the restoration threads. There is a ton of reference pic's and posts that address the removal/installation of quarters on 68-70 B-Bodies.
