Re: Chrome trim body holes removal
It is possible to use a torch, but controlling the heat is very difficult, and can easily lead to significant warping.
You might want to consult a body shop or two, and get an estimate from a Pro.
If there is a custom body shop/hot rod shop in the area, they might be able to do it, or suggest somebody who still does real metal work, and just not cover stuff with filler.
At least you would know what the options, and costs may be.
One thing that can be done, is to dimple the hole slightly, so it is below the intended surface, then weld it and grind it down to flush. After that, you will just have a low spot to re-surface. No matter what, you will have some body work to re-finish.
