hold on, are we talkin about the big holes on the firewall or on the fender wells and strut towers.?

the small holes i mean bro?
Can you get to the back of the holes?
yea then, just tack up the holes grind them down with a grinder & then top it off and make it smooth w/ some metal glaze and bondo.

yea i can get to all the holes on the fire wall and small ones
Tack a piece of metal to the back (either weld, JB weld, or gorilla snot if really desperate) then use body filler on the front. Household electrical box punch-outs work great.
...or cover the hole with adhesive mesh or aluminum tape then smooth over with body filler. There's a million different ways but few are willing to invest the time and money to do it right so whatever works lol.
i have the time to do it right but i dnt really get it how you explaing it to me
You said you can get to the back of the hole right, as in behind it...
why not shoot a pop rivet in the holes and paint the engine bay.... we are talkin 1/4 and 3/16" holes or less
Really doesn't take a genuis to know how to make some small holes dissappear, brosky.

Well, the way I did mines is a buddy welded the holes up and then we bondoed over it. And if you use bondo, be sure to use the one that can take flexing. The one i had was, I think, Everglaze with fiberglass resin? I'll check for you tomorrow.
qft
x2.
unless you understand the welding process, which i thought being in the automotive field as a hobby meant you automatically had a firm grasp on the concept(whether you can do it yourself or not), then you should enlist the help of a friend who does understand.

pop rivets for the ultimate fucking win...... your prolly not building a 10k car so why the fuck are going to do body work on your engine bay..... i mean..... dont get me worng but if you dont have a real good idea about whats all involved your tuck might turn out to be giant fail....... keep it simple and it will turn out great...
to do it right you need to grind em.... weld em...grind em... wipe em... sand em... prime em.... paint. in that exact order
you like to talk your shit right am just asking for a little bit of help here on ia i just want to make my engine bay clean and then you come a talk your shit you dumass muthfcker get a fcking life and stay out of my thread you piece of shit
