Subject:gluing bodypanels on - BAD IDEA
Date:Fri, 12 Jan 2007 10:59:13 EST

if anyone wants to see some long-term  results of gluing body panels on -
come on over. i have a parts van here that was rearended lightly, lower valence
was cut off and  new panels "glued" on by a bodyshop using the adhesive that
you are all talking about, and the whole area is now swiss cheese (rotted)
because the metal did not stay bonded to the glue..and the area around the glue is
rusted..

you can talk this stuff up all you want but it doesnt hold up in the long
run..
