Default shaving the side of a 92-95 civic hatch......

whats the most effective way to to this?... i figure if you jsut throw on body filler there will be bubble and after a month or 2 it will fail and it will push itself out........the best way i think would be to weld a peice of metal in there and then use a little filler , what do you guys do or think?

weld peice of metal and use AllMetal filler to smoothe it out, get finished with precision body filler and sandable primer.
