I decided to draw a picture (albeit a crappy one) because I think this can explain it better than words.

If you need a better explanation or better pictures I can always tell you more/draw more/take some more. Thanks for the help you guys.

you could use Bondo that has short strand fiberglass in it to level out the piece most of the way and then lay some fiberglass over that if your having adhesion problems then drill a few SMALL holes so that the resin can "bite" in

Thanks playr, that is basically what I decided to do. My dad was up in town this weekend so he took a look at it with me. Tonight I built up the bumper to it matches the level of the quarter panel. My dad is now going to come up either tuesday or wednesday and instead of fiberglass he is going to lay carbon fiber over it. We decided on the carbon fiber because he is worried that fiberglass will not be strong enough to resist cracking since the bumper can flex while the quarter panel can not. I'll let you know how it works out.
