    a photo would be good to see what you have. i have done some stuff like what you have the last job i did was a 63 vette bird cage that was bad they found better parts for me to make a nice fix to weld in. welding up holes on thin metal is more work and you are better putting a new chunk of metal in. all the grinding by the time your done you have very thin metal . on parts that are very hard to make or find. get the steel clean by sand blasting keep far way and low psi or you can make it go way if you blast in to hard .then lay up fiber glass it works good for jobs like this lay it up from the inside use some tape on the other side as a backer to help plug the holes when it start s to set up peel the tape off this save time on clean up you can trim the glass to with a sharp knife box cutter when its allmost set up save grinding on it
