I managed to crack the passenger-side front quarter panel on my car.... It's a very small crack, about an inch and half long, just above where the panel meets up with the front bumper... There's a small piece that's sort of bent back and jutting out now just above the bumper, where the crack happened.

Is there any way to repair this? I'd like to keep it from getting any worse...

Or will I need to replace the whole quarter if I want to fix it? (In which case I'll probably just live with it...)

I need a new inner fender liner, too... If anyone has a spare... This is for a 99 Camaro...

edit: Yeah... It was one of those days... I LIKE 315-size 710s, though. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

The front fenders are repairable with standard fiberglass epoxy or polyester resins. Clean it up real good on the backside, rough it up with #80, and lay a couple layers of cloth over the crack. After the backside is cured, the painted side can be touched up with Bondo, and rattle canned. There are places you can order rattle cans of the OEM color, need paint code off the build sheet.

Inner fender liners I patch with .040 aluminum and pop rivets.
