There is aproduct called Vette Panel adhesive. Very good for bonding glas to steel. Grind the panel inside and out. Pre-fit the flares. Any metal edge that doesn't contact the glass use a body hammer and flare the metal to meet the glass. Bond the panels with The Panel adhesive recommended or the Vette Panel adhesive, Glass the flares to the inside and outside of the steel making a glass and steel sandwich. Be sure to prep the inside of the flares and fenders and paint them properly and the work will last a long time like mine. 1994 to date.
Disclaimer: I hate glass flares. They change shape in the sun, they read through the paint, and they require more work to finish than steel. |
