Patch for a trashed fender

Tonight I made a patch panel for the left rear fender of my MGA. It had been torn and crumpled sometime in the past and repaired pretty poorly and this area is beyond repair. I ground off plenty of body filler, 1/2" thick in places. I used the fender on my other A as a reference for the plywood form and made a new part. It took a few trips to the sander, it's a compound curve.
Making the panel took less than 2 hours. Welding it in will take another 2 or so. Much better than tossing a fender out.
