Paint whole or take apart

I took off one of the front fenders because I hit one of the poles on the door, backing it out. I am amazed how bad the body work was on the fender when I put it on the work bench.
So I am doing a lot more body work on the fender, even after I popped out the dent.
I am now thinking I need to go over the car again and recheck he body work that was done on the car. I did the body work, so I have no one else to blame. I have taken the fenders off before, but this time it was a pain in the butt. I forgot 5 or 6 of the hidden bolts that holds it on.

It is a ***** getting old. The legs just do not want to hold me up anymore
