i used a mig with gasless wire to weld that in...best thing to do is get some scrap metal the same thickness..(old gaurds or nosecones are good as they have curves in them) and start practicing with your voltage and wire speed...practice doing overlaps and butt welds...the nose cone i did was butt welded so thats when you need to play with the mig settings as blowing holes is more prevalent..

just to add..nothing about teaching yourself how to do bodywork or mechanical is a stupid question...i drove my panelbeater, spraypainter and mechanic mates mad when i was young asking questions on what to do...
