So a while back, some douche tried to break into my truck by ripping away at the locks in both doors.    Funny thing though, they are dummy locks and wouldn't have opened the door anyways.    So now I have a couple fudged locks in my truck that look like crap.  Now if I were to replace the locks, even if they weren't hooked up it would cost me about $300-$350.  I was thinking though, why even get new locks, why not just get some caps welded over the holes, smooth out the weld and paint that section with a blending job.  Was just going to go check out some shops and see what I could find, but I figured I would throw this up here and see if you guys know anyone, or do things like this yourself.  Thanks for any input you could give.    I was thinking about doing it myself, but I don't have tools anymore, or a decent little spray booth in which to try this, so......

I do believe Tyson (Todd) from FishBC does body work. Or maybe just mechanical work. But it's worth  giving him a shout.

Do you know about bondo?  It's kind of fun to work with.  Mix some up, spread it in there, sand it off before it sets completely. Prime and paint.

Dave, i ran your dilemma by a buddy of mine who does custom body work and..... you would be looking at roughly the same cash if not a bit more to do the work you are wanting done. I guess if you find someone through the site that can give you a smokin deal.... you might do better

I've been in the Body shop business for 15 years and if you can get it done for $300 - $350, consider yourself lucky.  THAT"S CHEAP.
