I had that area held together with screws and then mocked up the fenders. In order for the old fender(or whatever)and new cowl to lay snug together this area needs good trial fitting and patience. It wasn't like sliding down a razor blade for me though, it was more like a 24 beer degree of difficulty. The pc. behind the cowl(inner to outer panel)was also very uncooprative in making this corner work out. Changing that angle on the bottom made for a much better fender fit for me and it's pretty hard to see now. It also fit nicer to the door pillar inside when angled like that.I think you should be able to hold your fender up to the cowl with no more than 1/8" gap before welding for a nice job.
