Yup, cut along the overlap on the red line. The black line is where the original fender ends underneath. So I've got to stay between the lines so I get a nice tight weld gap. Butt tack it together as I go. The challenge is once i placed the first tack, the patch was harder to move into alignment with the original fender.
So I'm curious if I should start the cut/tacks from the inner most point and work my way out to the edges, so the metal can flex its way outward as I move.
