Default Body Repair

I'm replacing the sport side view mirrors on my '72 with correct style mirrors. I'm needing to fill in the two extra holes (one on each door) the previous owner drilled when he installed the sport mirrors. This is not a show car but a little above driver quality. Is this a repair I can entrust to a reputable body shop or should I select a shop with corvette experience?

Thanks for your input.
