glue instead of weld
i was told this several years ago and tryed it on quarter panels on an old camaro used for an enduro 250 race(high speed demolition durby)Glued panels on removed screws next day ding n filled screw holes bondo paint.The car was trashed when dun race and no cracks or splits in the panels.The bondo-that a different story.Since then ive used it numerous times.The key is the longer it takes to cure the tuffer it is Durabond states that the 8 hour cure time has 300lbs per square inch strength.Think corvette,lumina van,BMW,bugatti...
It's costly but compared to cut,fit,weld,grind then prep time.It's sometimes cheaper.And allot better job.I swear by it.
