I know when I did my trunk pan, I overlapped, used metal screws to hold in place and used an air body saw to cut through the old and tack as I went along.
The two were overlapped, but I cut the overlapped pieces and butt welded them together as I went along. I used a black marker to draw up the cut lines. You can see it in the picture. Afterwards I went back and welded up the screw holes.
