A shrinker and stretcher would allow you to make this from one piece.

I tried that as a test on a 12" long angle and the flange on the quarter panel is 1 1/4" wide, the stretcher jaws only contact about half that and don't stretch the metal evenly and distorts the strip on the wheel house. I'm not patient enough to keep messing with it to fit right, so will make it this way to keep moving.
