Large dent on bottom of rear quarter panel: Cut-and-weld or Hammer-and-filler?

I got this enormous dent on the driver's side quarter panel.

Do you guys think this is a Cut-and-Weld job? or
a hammer it out and body filler job?

bodywork is easy if u know how to weld and dont need to shape to much of the metal , just to remind you dirty uneducated chicanos work in body shops if thats where u take your car.

why do i need to replace a 1/4 of my car? I figure I just need to section-in from the side moulding down.

Weld and cut, I was thinking of cutting up a section from a junk yard. Sounds probable?

i dont recommend cutting and welding.
i recommend spot weld dent removal and then shaping it back with a bodyhammer.

Agreed. To much work involved when cutting especially when there's a greater chance to mess up something else.
