Looking at that pic, you may want to have your neighbor pay for you to have a reputable shop fix it. I bet that fender can be popped out and fixed right. In 2013, while I was at the GM Nationals, in my hotel parking lot, someone did a hit and run on my Monte. The front bumper was replaced, but the hood and fender have been repaired, you can never tell anything was done. Here is what it looked like.

It wont fit. I am restoring a 1978 3rd Gen and although close, they are different and will not line up without some fab work. But that looks repairable by a body shop Ill bet.
