Easier said than done. It requires precise cutting and measuring. Not something that is easy to do.

You can find find partial replacement quarters on ebay. You also need to know someone with a welder or take it to a body shop.

If you have to ask, you can't do it. You'd have to do a lot of cutting / welding. We've done it at my house, and it's not a whole lot of fun.
