    Pictures would be great. TeriAnn has a jacking point mod on the ends of her
    rear crossmember that I would like to see also.

    Trim the rear quarter level with the bottom of the corner capping, try keep
    an edge to fold over as it was origionally to save slicing effects.

    !!_/

    instead of

    !! /
      \_/

    Then weld a bracket onto the end of the rear x-member so you can insert a
    flat length of angle/box along the length of the bottom of that rear
    quarter. It'll then be strong enough to fend off branches, if you drop then
    it drops to the x-member and rear quarter at the same time not rear quarter
    then x-member, and when it gets badly mashed you can unbolt the angle and
    bolt in a new straight length, which will pull the panel back to 'good
    enough' straight again.

    And if that makes no sense I'll come back with pictures when mine is done!
