I need to have the right front fender on my 72 fixed it was submarined into a guard rail before I got it. I believe it can be spliced in from the fender well forward, what is a reasonable cost from a body shop? I'll be providing the fender parts I have a half and full fender. I'll post pictures later I'm on my way out for the first estimate.
Thanks,

The top is how it looks now the bottom shows learning curve on hammering out big creases in metal!

20 hrs. Trim the used part without using a spot weld drill that will wreck the flange, Remove the damaged forward section to approximately mid fender, fix all the parts that are bent the new fender section will attach to, pinch spot the flanges, tig weld the butt seam, file to finish. 
Little to zero filler.
