Replacing a fender on a 2007 Volvo

Anybody ever replaced a fender on a Volvo. I'm looking at replacing my left fender thanks to USX. I was going to just get a used hood and be done with it. 4 States Trucks is only about 100 miles from me and their web site said they had 8. But when I called them they said they have none. Their price is $1775. I can get a new fender from Volvo for $1135. So with some work I can save some money.
But how to do the work? Body shop guy said they can be separated with heat. He uses a propane torch. Do you need just one torch? Are two with a second person on the other side? Do you need a third person to wedge them apart?
Then when you reassemble how do you hold the two parts in place while the glue sets up? I'm thinking make a wood jig to hold the two parts in place up side down then weights (Probably cement blocks) to press it together. Any help or ideas would be appreciated.
Last year I replaced the hood mount on the right side. It's still holding well.You can search "hood mount repair" to see that post.
If I don't find a used hood (I'm still looking) I'll put post on hear of how I did the job since there don't seem to be any. Or is there a more appropriate form on here for body work?

 

They might make special clamps to do the job. It would take some very deep jawed clamps to fit them on there. I might just let the body shop replace the fender and I do everything else. That would still leave me a pretty good chunk of change for my pocket.

 

That's simple. USX is sending me a check. I can then give it to a body shop and they will do a great job. Truck fixing to turn a Million miles. It's coming to the end of it's life. It don't need it to look prefect. I can do the work myself and it might not turn out as good, but I'll put 6 to 7 grand in my pocket. USX will cut the check for the repair and down time according to the body shop estaminet. How I fix it or even if I fix it is up to me. It's all about the money
