Hi
Yes, I see no reason why you couldn't use Bondo to smooth out your chassis. try to find a flat silver paint to repaint the chassis with. I found some Valspar spray paint at Lowe's in flat silver; it looks pretty good, much better than that aluminum paint that does not look at all original.
The black spots are probably a result of the treatment you used on the chassis, clean the chassis as best as you can, primer and then paint with flat silver as mentioned above.
The IF transformer cans should be aluminum, and will respond quite well to the aluminum polish that looks like cotton wadding (mag wheel polish or equivalent). You tear a small piece of wadding off and use that to rub out the can really well, then polish with an old soft cloth or even a paper towel.
