here is a trick i do with fiberglass.
put masking tape on the outside to form a backing for the fiberglass to shape it if the hole is big. pull the tape off when dry.

I'd do this.
I bought a used mower a couple of years ago, which had been "parked by ear" I'm guessing. The front "grill" was cracked. I used some two part epoxy over a couple of days (after roughing up the pieces to be joined) and built up the grill again. When I was done, I used a flat black undercoat for a matt texture. With the dark green body of the sheet metal, it worked OK and until you look you can't see the joins.

Best of luck.
