If I do it I am planning on removing the old panel at the factory spot welds. There would be little or no butt welding. I planned on removing it at the door jam, pinch weld, at the welds behind the chrome trim where the roof meets the quarter and behind the quarter panel extension.

In that case then, I say go for it as well.
I wouldn't discard the removed quarter though. Once it's off and easily accessible from both sides, repairing it would be much easier with a hammer and dolly. Then either save it or sell it.
