A few bodywork questions, relating to the windshield area...

[68 Stepside]

Hey all,

I've got a few rust spots on the 68 that I'd like to take care of, and would like opinions on my options. I don't want to simply fill the holes with bondo, like the previous owner did (thanks a lot Mr. previous owner). Should I just fill the holes with weld, or should I fab a tiny plate to go into the hole, weld it in, and run some filler over it? Also, there's some nasty rust next to the holes, that I'm sure will reveal holes when I clean it up. The rust is on both sides, in the same spot. Any help would be great.

Thanks.
