repairing two drilled holes on coin door

(1/3) > >>

heinekenlvr:
Hey all,
picked up a Midway cocktail cab that I am restoring. Unfortunately as with most coin doors there are two unwanted holes that have been drilled on the front of the door. How can I fix these short of taking it somewhere to have them welded. Bondo? I read somewhere of someone doing a repair by filling the holes with solder and then grinding the repair smooth.
Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers.

How big are the holes? How about a painted smooth top carriage bolt?

I just picked up a Nintendo cab that has a coin door with three holes about the size of a dime. They had been filled with bondo and from the outside it looked pretty good. I tried to knock the bondo out with a screwdriver just to test the strength of it and they didn't budge. I say try and bondo them, if you don't like the look of it just drill out the bondo and try something different. What's the worst that could happen? :)

Thenasty:
ir depends on ho big the hole is. You can shove a wood dowl (is that how you speel it) and fill the rest with bondo and paint away.  ;D

Malenko:
super glue a quarter over the hole(s)
