    Bonding SMC pannels together

    How long must I wait. After an eventfull night of playing with that cool bonding agent and keeping the garage above 60 deg all night we finally got it bonded. I noted this morning that what was squeezed out was very firm and not very tacky any more. So I am wondering how long before I can...

    Would there be any way to keep a garage warm and use haligon lamps to keep the pannels warm, or any other suggestion that don't keep me from sticking it on before next spring? My zip is 81621 which show current weather at 47 deg and 50% humidity. Thanks, Drew

    Bellhousing Dust Cover for 1 piece rear main seal?

    I honestly dont remember how much, but it was not much of a modification. I just held it up and cut back the area where it did not fit. More just a trial and error. Best of luck. Thanks Drew

    It is easier to replaced the quarter panel or the fender to the center of the head light, as I have it now I would have to do some fiberglass work around the nose, but if I replace it at the headlight half way point and use a full fender then I would have zero fiberglass work. Is there a...
