The New Project: Part Deux!

[njsteve]

I figured I might as well join the twentieth century, technology-wise, now that's it's the twenty-first.

I'm a strict follower of the Automotive Hypocratic Oath: "Above all, do no harm"

Since it's not really a structural part of the body and I didn't want to do more damage to a solid car in an effort to install a correct replacement part, I decided to go the adhesive route. The body guy indicated that there are some adhesives that are useable in conjunction with the assembly line clamping spot welders, so you could have the best of both worlds if you were trying to accurately reproduce the factory "crunched" look of the spot welds at the bottom of the quarters and fender lips, in additon to having total adhesion and corrosion protection.
