hole fix (how to?)

hole in my 71 squareback where the front drivers side wheel well meets the body / pan. directly opposite the floor heat vent. it seems more 'body' than 'pan'. curves under, not flat. im not a welder. how to go about this? sheet metal, silicone and rivets? what to undercoat with?

thank you

Define "hole" how big?

Silcone and rivets?? Uhhh No!

Most holes need some type of welding repair to ensure they don't come back. Describe the hole a little better and maybe we can help you out.

the hole: a gnarly, no particular shape but about maybe 2" x 3" ? seems like it needs to be grinded into something workable (i.e. a more 'flush' surface) ..fiberglass maybe? ..

thanks again.
