If you and whoever is helping you are capable of replacing a quarterpanel on a steel car, fixing that fender should be no problem, just a learning curve...

it came out better. hit it with primer and look at it wet. in fact be ready to take pics while wet. no way in hell you got perfect or even decent in the first try. but it is closer than it has been in what, 3 decades?

I need a messurement from the front of the retainer boot bracket, to the grommet where the cable is going tough.
Or some other messurement, so I can drill down my retainer boot bracket.

Does anyone have that?

your grille area gets unbolted and thrown away. unless you mean the area that the bumper cover attaches.

No panel was bought, and it came out nice I would say.
