I got lucky and nothing was reported for my accident. I checked the carfax before I traded it in and it came up clean.
Both rear "quarter panels" and the trunk are are totally smashed, how do they go about replacing these? Do they cut off the back of the car and weld on a new one?

Yep.
Just make sure they use a Mustang rear! What a disaster if they welded a Crapmaro rearend on your car! Think of how slow it would be!!
Did you punt that kid square in his snatch? I woulda.
Sorry about your car, but be thankful you are ok. PLEASE listen to others and get YOURSELF checked out before waiting too long. I have chronic neck issues and headaches from a roll-over accident in 1996, that I will have for the rest of my life.
Personally, I'd want the car totaled. I would not want it back.
Looks like it's time to back half it and throw some big meats on there.
Good luck and hope everything works out OK for you.
Sorry to see this man! I got t boned last October and it was horrible. I think the car is fixable as long as the rear axle and frame are OK. My car looked way worse than yours but didn't have frame damage so it was fixed. It needed a strut, control arm, knuckle, front wheel, fender, door, and quarter panel replaced. Good luck and glad you are OK.
I just have a lot of time, money and emotion into this car.
This is exactly what I was thinking!!!
How long we're you out of a car for? Is this a month long project? I got the car at a ford body shop for estimating. Hopefully I'll have some news by tomorrow
Jucostud's was about that bad and he got his fixed. Me personally, I'd take a hammer to the rest of it to finish it off and strip it down. lol
Ok, first estimate came in at 6700.00. I was told this was without putting it on a frame machine and not assessing the front bumper/grill damage from when I was pushed into the car in front of me. I found out about 8500.00 will total the car, I got a feeling this was a low a lowball quote to get the work and then the real cost would come through and the cost will just keep going up. I'm gonna send it somewhere else for another estimate to really see what's up. Any thoughts on if 6700 seems legit or does it seem kind of low. I don't want to end up driving a car that was or should have been totaled. A lot of the estimate said remove and inspect, not R&R
