Wheel well crack and insulation question

I have several questions to ask concerning my wheel wells.

1. There is a 6" crack in one (rear of street side) where the wheel well meets its flange as indicated by the arrow. Should I fiberglass this or use the aluminum/vulken patch that I have seen mentioned.

2. I have seen discussion about inner and outer wheel wells. Mine only has the one plastic one and I did not see signs of another ever being there. Is that the way it was in the 1970 Overlanders?

3. Something is flaking off the underside. I assume it is undercoater. Should I worry about replacing that?

4. There was no insulation. I assume I should insulate it before reassembly. Right?

Other than the one 6" crack I have not noticed any other faults.

Nothing is fact until it is etched in stone....and even then sometimes it isn't.
