Options for Front Fender rust repair - 1972

[Robs72T]

Hello, I have pulled my right finder off and am looking for advice on what to do. I have circled the primary areas of rust (lack of metal), probably more once media blasted. Pictures are of the inner headlight bucket, fender attachment rails, and lower fender rust that had perferated to the both sides.

What are my options?

Thanks.

I believe I have seen replacement headlight buckets (not sure of the source).

A good body man can 'cut out' and re-fabricate the missing/rusty sheet metal. But done correctly, that is time consuming ...and thus ...costly!

You might want to look on ebay etc. for a good used fender as opposed to putting a lot of $$ into that one. JMO

Interested to hear about this since both my buckets are toast.

It looks like there are headlight buckets here:

and bottom fender piece here:

I can't find the fender attachment piece (at least the one that is attached to the fender).

i think that fender's a parts donor. cut off the turn signal section and weld it onto an easy to find '74 and up fender. hopefully the donor section is decent after bead blasting it clean.
