With all the critisim here (even though some of it was just for fun) there has to be a memeber of the board that lives near this gentleman to go and weld a quicky patch in for him. I know i would if i lived close.
To the original poster, maybe place an ad on this board in an appropriate section asking for someone to help you weld a patch in. What you have there and the way the proposed fixes would happen, your are probably not going to be happy in the long run with all your time, money and fustration to fix it second rate as opposed to giving someone $40-50 to weld in a couple of patches. Of course this is just my opinion.

every shop has their prefference and there is absolutely nothing wrong with filler over primer or any catalized material,as long as the surface is prepped for it,it has to be sanded very well, just like with anything,I, personally will never wipe filler onto bare metal and have been doing so for 20 years ,haven't had any reason to re-do any of my work ,either it's a 15k paint job or small fender-bender,no problems at all

Thanks for the advice, all. Just for good measure, I decided to take some shots of the holes in question:
Drivers side (shot 1)
Driver's side (shot 2) Passenger's side (shot 1)
Passenger's side (shot 2)
These I think I can slip a little sheet metal behind.
weld a patch....imo
Weld it up and fix it once and for all.
Amen!
unless you like ghetto-rigging,I wouln't attempt to use anything but a new patch and a welder
thems big holes..lol I'd make sure you cut or grind all of that out. Then I'd either weld in a patch or use something like liquid nails to hold it in place. Then you can use a skim coat of filler. I would not start smearing filler over those areas, they need some more work before you start.
