From my experience the procedure is basically always the same.

Remove the handle. Fill hole (weld a small patch in or put a copper plate behind the hole and then just weld the hole shut - remove copper). Now smooth out the welds. Add your favorite body filler, prime, paint. Before you do any of this - make sure you understand how the mechanism works. In fact I would install the release mechanism first (depends on how brave you are grin ).

You'll need to order a shaved handle kit from AutoLoc (or other brand) or talk to a local alarm dealer (best idea) about getting solenoids, switches and relays (and possibly a 'popper').
Make sure you put a mechanical release in on one of your doors just in case your electrical system goes TU.

Did this get at your question?
