Just have a friend to guide you initially. Actually it is about the only sane method of welding on older car metal gauges in my opinion.

In your case though there is no sane alternative over a solid junk yard replacement fender. Yes the bottom of the fender does wrap around quite a ways.
X2 or you could pay the big bucks for a factory new fender from the dealer. Definitely get a good lincoln or hobart MIG (not fluxcore) 110v or 220v (110v is just easier to use at home). it's a good skill and relatively easy to pick up (not stick) you will need a grinder.
