Default Panel replacement advice needed

I need to replace the rear body panel, upper rear body panel and the left quarter panel (other associated parts I won’t list). So far I’ve removed the rear body panel. I’ve read that you should replace one panel at a time in order to maintain reference points between panels. Now that I’ve removed the rear body panel, I see that the quarter panel is welded under the lower part of the rear body panel. I’m now starting to think that I should remove all three panels then re-install pretty much at the same time. Does anyone have advice?

i think you need to do one panel at a time to keep the body from sagging. if you remove too many panels the body can sagg and then you will alot of fitment issues later on.
