Need A Body experts. !!

Talked to the body guy last night... He's going to repair.. He mentioned that the panel I bought was hard to work with..and he only used part of it, below the side marker light down..So the area that's full of filler is actually original metal, which was fine, as far as bumper fitment.. Not sure why that had to be reshaped and filled. I'll get more answers when he repairs.. He's coming to my garage to do it, so I'll see everything.

Ahh, well there it is.... Seriously, with that much filler, I'd be pissed. That's how things fall apart years later....
