Ok, yeah, done it many time. Now to find the pics.......thats the hard part...LOL

It really depends on how much of the fender is gone. If its below the break or "rib" then cut right on the break and fit the parts at the break with a butt weld. That way there is no over lap and you can clean the back side real good and get it refinished so it is protected from future corrosion.

If it s just a small hole, then you can make your own patch and keep the repair area to a minimum. But still clean and seal the back side.
Here is a pic of that patch
