Dave you can replace the whole quarter panel and would be best way to repair it or weld a new plate in just be sure to cut about a 1" around the rust and weld a patch in they also make a glue by 3m 5185 that is used to glue the patch in instead of welding it in it is up to you? just don't let any one talk you in to to putting fiberglass over it that will just rust back through
