Cut out the rusted section and make a template out of cardboard to fit then make your part and weld it in.

A picture of the effected area would be good here to better gauge how to proceed. However, as The70RT posted, possibly making a template to make a repair patch should work.

Another vote for The70RT's proposal.  Not only is it the best way to fix it, it's actually the easiest as well.  Sometimes life just works out that way.

Fastest method (if possible) is to copy the part you cut out. Never, ever throw it out, it could save you hours of fab time.
