That looks pretty bad. Are you going to try to fix it or just replace the whole panel?

repair panels for this car suck. poor quality and cause paint problems later on. in the pics you can see the repair process. i make an inner patch to capture the shape. the outer patch is from heavy weave. then fill is done with matt and resin. after that the area was skimed with dynaglass. the last pic shows it pretty much finished. it would have been easier if homer and jefro had not worked on it first. i prefer this to scabing a corner onto it.
