I took off my rocker panels and found a huge pile of dirt around the jack hole. After cleaning it, I found 4 small holes in the driver's side.

How should these be patched: weld a rectangular piece over the hole (or all 4 of them) OR weld a piece flush in each hole? Or does it even matter?

I will have to take it to a place, so I'm assuming I can drive the car without rocker panels, correct?

I have a similar poor repair that is not rusted but certainly substandard.

I will be verifying there is not reaming rust and add Restoration Designs Frame stiffener overlay.
