Also recommend hitting the insides of the frame with FrameSaver as you will effectively opened it all up to the elements.

I wouldn't worry too much about the corrosion. It's nature's way of drilling lightening holes, there should be some lube in there, and the holes will probably help drain water.
When I was a kid we used to drill holes in the Chouinard climbing nuts we had. Lots of them. We didn't have people on the internet to ask about it. By the time you get to the point where you are making custom bikes you normally don't have a lot of interest in these lipstick on a pig exercises, but we all start somewhere.
