Re: How should I fill firewall holes

Yep, those Roper Whitney punches are awesome. I used mine all the time to punch holes on new metal for plug welding or spot welding. I don't think I've ever seen another body tech with one in their box. You can also make your own "backing plates" and use clecos for a nice tight no gap butt joint.

If it were me, I would make my own plugs or buy some drops from a local machine/welding shop, fit them up for a nice butt weld and weld them up. I just prefer to do a repair that is invisible from both sides.
