I agree with others here.........................weld it. You can from metal patches and weld them in. I don't care for fiberglas fillers, bondo is easier to use. I don't use much bondo either, I prefer to grind weld down and fill in low spots with metal, bondo is for those odd spots to fix.

i did weld it, i spot welded the patches all the way around their perimeters. i just used the fiberglass to cover up the welds. i wouldn't dare simply use fiberglass to hold the patches in.
