Default rear inner fender repair

Looking for tips on repairing the inner fender 'lips' on my 68. PO had larger tires on it and apparently hit the fenders at every bump in the road. Its just the inner side as you cannot see the damage from the side. Pieces are missing but mostly intact may not be explaining this too well but hopefully those who have had this problem can help. I'll add a pic to show how it looks from the side Thanks Paul btw the rears only

You should know by now that good photo's of your problem will be required. SO..please post good photo's...and also PLEASE do not get so close to the problem that I can see the atoms that make up the fiberglass. I need to see the problem 'somewhat' close up and one photo a bit further away so I know where the damage is located.

If I can see the problem...which I know can be 'normal'....still will allow me to comment on what to do to fix it. IF I can not see it...I am guessing....unless that is what you want me to do????
