Thats an odd place to just rust out. Was there a repair there at some point? Looks like a crack that started to rust?

i think the po scraped the fender and never addressed the issue. is this just surface rust that i can wire wheel off then primer for the time being?

Wire wheel or spot sand blast the area and that will tell you real quick how bad it is. The steel is pretty sturdy on these cars not like the new ones.
