you will have to cut that damaged spot out and replace with sheetmetal from anoter camaros quarter or you can buy the whole quarter and cut yours along body lines so the welds would be un noticeable since they would be along trim lines
no matter what you will need atleast a mig welder and experience in welding sheet metal
if you use mig tack weld only! continuous welding WILL warp the metal and or burn through
if you use tig you will have the best results and can do short welds but constant isnt recommended still
grind the welds
apply body filler
smooth out the imperfections
prime
wetsand
paint
wetsand
clear coat
final wet sand with highest grit possible
then polish
and it will be good as new
i have around 3 yrs experience in collision repair and this is the only way to properly repair it
dont just fill it. believe me it will fall out eventually or crack
