I can raise the flare but if I do, it looks like I have a huge gap between the tire and the flare itself. The slits are thin enough I can weld them up. I do have a copper spatula if needed.
The two hard tasks are fitting the large panel to the flare and also the bottom/front and back of the flare. I’m thinking I’ll get the contour on the bottom of the patch panel right and then start cutting down the top and slides to match my opening. The areas at the bottom front and bottom rear I’m probably just gonna end up having to weld in pieces of sheet metal.
It’s not a show car but a track car so it doesn’t have to be beautiful but I do want it to look decent.

If you get a large solid piece of wood and a large ball peen hammer you could put some 3d shape into the section you are welding on. To fill any openings with mig wire you could try a piece of 3/32 or 1/8 copper sheet under where you are welding as a back support.
