    Best way is to weld em closed, bar none IMO. You'll never have to worry about bondo popping out. Of course you need a welder, which you dont have, thats what friends are for...borrowing stuff. Ive heard lead works well too, but i have never done it before so cant say how well it works.

    Just bondo thru the holes is a big no...no...See the silver dollar size rust holes starting,those were the same size holes you have on the front,the back tells the story.A really cheezy way ,but better than bondo,is to run some screws into the holes with red locktite on them .Leave the head of the screw far enuff away from the body to cut the excess off flush with the panels.You could even get really tricky and dip the ends of the screws into some sort of rust preventer to help with the rust behind the panel.Best way is to weld them holes up and get to the back of the panel to seal it.

    Trouble with bondo also is that when you slam your hood, it pops out. Welding them up first is really the permanent solution.
