Default Rear quater panel removal - advise?

So i'm stripping the blue s12 to the bone, really want to keep the rear arches as they're pretty mint....

What's the best way to remove/cut them that would make it easiest to refit onto another?

have you done it before? worried about separating the inner/outer arch and mullering the panel in the process.
