Where is the patch being applied? There are replacement patch panels available for the 70-72 Cutlass. Fenders are the same for all the A body line in those years, so the patch panels also are. If it's a quarter panel, there are also reproduced quarter panel skins that aren't terribly expensive.

it's that section right there I found both sides were nothing but bondo, so I have made some replacement patches I just want to know the length of the section pointed out by the arrow be for I install, to make sure it's correct.

Can't you just measure the opposite side or are both sides rotten?

Both sides were rotted, whoever had it before was talented with bondo clearly. I tried looking at pictures but it's still a guess as to the length.
