Default My fender found its flare again!

Brought my car in yesterday morning, it was supposed to be out yesterday around 5pm, but they ended up needing a extra half day to do the work. The body work on the dent was no problem to fix, it ended up being a chunk of fender that was missing from the previous owner that caused the biggest problems. When trying to sand it down to fill it with bondo, the crack kept getting larger.

I have to say, the shop did an incredible job repairing the fender, even getting the fender crease perfect again. The paint looks great and he had guys who work there compound my hood also. He offered to repaint my entire hood (which is faded badly) for $250. I think i will take him up on the offer over the summer. Apparently a really poor quality paint was used on it at somepoint.

Here is what that crack looked like, right next to the headlight panel.



And the fixed fender...

If anyone on Long Island needs bodywork done, i can direct you too this place which is located in Garden City, about a mile from the Roosevelt Field mall.
