I mentioned previously the sail panel to drip rail was attached with panel bond. I chose to also use panel bond for the wheel lip/outer tub edge. I had dimpled the wheel lip to replicate factory spot welds and plug welding in between would have created an enormous amount of finishing work. I also liked the idea of having the wheel lip completely sealed as it would be with panel bond. Pleased with how it worked (particularly after body and paint). Many clamps with moderate pressure made a nice tight fit.
