I have done a number of these as it seems every car I buy had those damn fenderwell headers.....butchered in, I changed the entire panels on all from good original cars with great sheet metal to give up. Mind you that was long ago when the sheet metal was available in junk yards, now repo panels that are very good are available. Anyway, a patch is nice if done just right. I changed the entire panels on my cars because they chopped all the way to the firewall....and the bracing where the collector passes behind the front wheel. This piece I dont think they repo. Either way it is a lot of work. but the results are great! I cringe when I see fenderwell headers to this day lol
