I don't have as much experience as a lot of guys on here, but I don't think putting one piece of metal over a rusted out piece solves anything. I am cutting out all of it and going back with fresh metal, because I believe the rusty metal will continue to rust and weaken the patch if you don't cut it out and replace it. My 2 cents.
