I recently caught “Speedmakers” on Speed channel. It showed Aston Martin factory and how they glue body panels, they went on to say that it creates stronger bond than welding. Has anybody tried gluing any panels. I was thinking about using some high strength epoxy and gluing Engman inner long kit, it seems as a good candidate as the pieces are flat and fit flush. What do you guys think?

I bought a product called Fusor made by Lord Industries. I used it on my bus when I replaced the long rocker panel on the left side. I was affraid of having major warping welding on such a long peice. Worked great! However, it needs to be clamped tight for it to hold. I glued two 1" strips together and could not tear them apart.
