You need to do glasswork on BOTH SIDES of the seams. If there is damage to the inner fender panels, they will need replacement or repair as well. They should be able to access the inner fender panels when the cut off the damaged section. As for the underside of the body where the seams will be, if they can't access them, then they would need to remove the body. I don't see how the engine would be in the way. But hey, it only takes an hour to remove the engine/tranny, a little longer to put it back in. I could see the radiator being in the way, the tranny cooler will probubly have to come out.
