Rear Quarter panels

I'm baaaaaack! Ok gang, The more I do, the worse it gets. I'm now,
reluctantly, in the body tub disassembly stage and I'm having trouble getting the
rear quarter panel sheet metal to come off. I think I have all of the nails
removed or I have broken their heads off attempting to remove them.. ( Perhaps
I don't want to see the wood underneath

?) Any experience, procedures or
ideas? Thanks, Tom TC2850, disassembled

In that my quarter panels were about 1/2 bondo they
came off with some ease, but when I needed to remove
the new ones that I made after trial fitting, they
required a little gentle persuasion. You may have to
slightly lift the turned over portion to get them over
the remainder of the nails that are broken off. Also
once installed over the wood they are a pretty snug
fit nails or not. Likely they will not just pop off,
you will need to gently 'work' around the edge,
between the wood and sheet metal, particularly the
wheel arch side to free them.
cheers,
