Punch it, Pull it, or Fill it?

I wish, that'd make my life much easier, lol

Problem is I want to paint it before I get the engine done, so I'll have to pay someone to come to me or borrow(rent) a trailer to get it to a body shop. And at that point, buying a stud gun would be cheaper, of course learning is 1/2 the fun, right?
Stud guns have other uses , they are also good for heat shrinking metal, moulding studs if you have those. If you plan to do all around the the car it might be worth the investment.
