There are a lot of automotive panel bonding adhesives available, as well as epoxies. Unless it is a real high-end restoration, I would make a nice aluminum patch, and bond it (and rivet if desired) in place. DIY and functional. A step above this would be to do something like what Mark recommended in post #2 - a flush bonded & riveted patch.

For reference, Eastwood has a 'kit' available to make flush bonded & riveted repairs:
