Wheelhouse Crack Repair

not broken yet and seem to be holding ok.

My curb side rear wheel enclosure has several cracks that look like they
came from a blowout the PO had. Has anyone successfully repaired one of
these? What works? I've thought about either using fiberglass or roof
cement behind an aluminum patch.

Thanks Al & Byron - I think I'll pick up a West Epoxy repair kit at
Aircraft Spruce this weekend. I need to repair some headliner cracks
too. I'll report back on how it works.
