Obviously you meant 50 of the 200 holes that Ford punched in the inner fenders, some of those holes actually have something attached to them lol.

what i did on my buddys car he wanted his bay to look good cheap so i sand blasted the inner and what i could get of the outter. then took some JB weld in a tube put that in all the holes smoothin them out as much as i possible could before the stuff dried. waited 24 hours used paint scrapper checked all the holes to be flat and painted it and it came out looking awesome. just an idea if ur handy lol and its cheap.
