Pat, those were my thoughts, too. Btsave bought a car that he's happy with, and if you're going to run a magnet over the whole car to check for filler the time to do that is before you write the check. This is one of the issues with buying a finished car - you are at the mercy of the owner to understand what's under that shiny paint, unless he's showing you a build book of photos documenting the process start to finish. At this point I'd fix the fender, buy some good tires and be done, unless you're ready to strip the whole car down to bare metal and do it back "your way" anyway. Just my $0.02, others may disagree.
