Default Enough panel to fix my vette?

Had a forum member very kindly ship me some spare panels off of his vette, you think this is enough to fix the damage to my vette?
Here is the damage


And here is what was sent, the fender and the inner fender, now I do believe there is enough on the inner fender to work.

It is for the same side of the car.......and it more than you have NOW.
Might need some cosmetics after installation but should work.

Those are damaged, you're going to have to repair them and then....if you get nice cleaner parts you would have a better job. Myself, I would find a spot above the gill and cut it straight across and fabricate your own bonding strip out of the old piece, measure correctly and glue it in. with fusor 100ez . You could do the same for the front. Remember 90% of the work is prep , make sure everything is straight before you get it glued. Just my 2 cents, I'm sure there's another way to do it. How's the inner fender?

Keep in mind this is not the correct way we should do it, as mentioned, the correct way is replacing the whole thing.


Also, I think I see grass on the front wheel....4 wheeling were we?
