well, im not a welder, but i have watched a 2 friends of mine fill 
holes.....first you get a scrap of plate copper thin enough to bend to the same 
body 
contour as area with the hole...place the copper behind the hole.then  he uses 
an 
electric welder that feeds wire automaticly.no plug is needed ,the molten 
wire wont stick to the copper just fill the area with weld.remove the copper 
plate grind and finish as usual...again im not a welder,but those of you who 
are 
check into this procedure ,my friend swears by it....steve
