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?
