Go to Home Depot, and rent a Lincol welder. If you use filler or any sort of puddy, the vibrations and stuff like that will loser those out and make em fall off or pop them back up.
Spot welding them is the best way to go. I want to do that too, but man thats alot of work when you aint got no space or have the ability to be with out your car =P
It'll look extremely nice though man, I've seen some of those done on the mustang mags and they look so clean with all of the junk gone =)

mix it and put it in the holes just make sure the holes are clean metal. then just wait to it hardens then smooth it out. when all holes are done then get some filler and smooth the rest out or use high build primer before you paint

umm if they are just small pin holes why dont you just use some body filler, it lasts forever as long as you clean the metal goood and make sure there is no rust, seal it properly and it will last forever.
