Along with all the cleaning up of the bay. getting some powder coating done to the brackets, pullies etc..

New braided wire looms, painting... Ughhh! what a project ahead of me!

Question, can I fill some of these holes with puddy epoxy then sand it down to paint?

I personally wouldn't do putty as I love welding but its been done before and apparently it holds up real well. Here's a link to a thread on Corral about someone who did this.
