Here is what I played with tonight (since I was so bored lol) There was 16 (ya I said 16) holes from someone drilling holes to hang an exhaust at one time, 8 on each side. got one side just about done and will tackle the other side tomorrow morning (after store and cutting the grass lol) Thought this would be easy but what a PITA, couldnt just fill the holes, had to put a small piece of metal behind them then plug weld and grind.
Please dont look at the holes welded in the one pic, that was right after I got the welder and had to play with it. Now I know how to put a small piece behind the hole then plug weld.

Got all 16 exhaust hanger holes welded up and ground down, now for the sandblasting of the rest of the underneath.

I went to menards and bought a 20 x 15 tarp and cut it in half to get 40 x 7 1/2. Hung all that from the ceiling to make a sandblast booth, didn't want sand everywhere lol. and even put a fan in the back for some ventalation. Worked out great.
