It's more work, but an alternative is to weld 3/16 ss brake line into the corner of the flange, then cut off the excess portion of the flange, leaving the nice rounded tube in place for a pleasing and strong fender/quarter.

I used a fender roller, it was easy, but take a razorblade and score the paint so that it doesnt crack, then take touch up paint and seal the cut edge.

If I ever get mine back together, we can roll mine. Then to the Camino.
