Uh, sheet metal screws?

I haven't done my car yet, but I was planning on getting either some sheet metal or aluminum from Home Depot and trimming it to cover the access holes. I was planning on using the tiny self tapping pan head screws to hold the panels in place.

If you are talking about what to use to seal sheet metal that you cut out to cover the holes.....use silicone and self tapping metal screws

Yea sheetmetal screws work well when covering a hole with a piece of sheetmetal.

the guy at ace told me to use liquid nails for putting the sheet metal on the door. should i use something else?

Liquid nails is good. Many people have done it that way. You'll be able to pry it off if need be. You may want to consider plexi glass instead, too. It's more rigid than a thin piece of sheet metal and won't vibrate/resonate like sheet metal could. You also won't have to place any sound deadener on it, where with sheet metal you'll want 2-3 layers.
