Default What do I use ?

Hi guys ,
Some of you may have seen my posts repairing the proverbial C in the rockers of my 73 and other posts where I asked how to remove the sound deadening inside and out of my car . Thanks to all the guys who chimed in as always
Well the body is on my spit as most will also have seen so I can clean the underside ready for the repairs needed and the painting . When I flipped the body over there were plenty of areas full of bondo and now I have ground it all out I have a body full of holes My question is what product should I be using . One product can't fix all that I know , and I don't want to have pieces falling off because I used the wrong product and having to re do the work all over . I will try and include some pictures so the experts can advise me as to the route I should go .
I didn't want to hijack anyone else's thread on the filling of holes , all I really want is to know is if it was in your garage what would you do . Don't tell me to crush it I am far far too deep and this one will live again
