The proper way would probably to weld a patch on and then smooth it out with bondo and then paint.

Maybe some sort of rubber gromet to fill the hole? (not to sure the size of them)

Just ideas as i'm sure bondo will work.

You will probably need to do what I did when I shaved my antenna; weld in a patch from the bottom, grind down the welds, and finish it like you would any other bodywork. Glazing putty helped a lot on the bodywork of my car, give it a try. [patriot]

How big are the holes? I would just weld the holes up, you dont need a patch. Grind down the welds and put a little filler over them, block sand, prime, paint [burnout]
