For the inner fender and other areas I can just cut out sheet metal, or cut from my parts car. I really am having a hard time convincing myself to cut up my parts car because it's such a nice-looking car and of course I want to save it too.

Luckily most of my welds will be hidden or hard to see, which helps me feel a little better. I will have a weld on the very visible part of the fender on both sides as well as one area farther back on one fender that I have to make a patch (dent that rusted a little ... POR15 really held that at bay for 10 years though, didn't advance at all). So those welds I'm a little more worried, even though they'll be ground. I did do the corner of a fender last year and it actually came out really nice despite the welds looking awful. I didn't quite get it even with my filler job, but can redo that before I go to paint the car.
