To do that: use a surface grinder and grind to bare metal all around the holes you'll be welding (about an inch or so from the hole). Now grind to the bare metal somewhere else in an unnoticable place, this is where you'll connect the charge clamp from the welder. Now weld the holes shut. When you've got them welded up, use the surface grinder to grind the weld down flush with the car. The heat from the welding is going to cause the metal around the welds to heat up and it's going to sink down a little. That why you need to use body filler. Fill over the welds and smooth out the sinkage until it looks like original. Then repaint it.
