rear quarter panel loose

[CURLEY2]

hello everybody, i noticed recently that my right rear quarter panel has come loose (seperated) above the rear tire. it seperates where the two piece meet and there is a trim piece there. i can sorta pull it apart and it looks like it has to be bonded and not put together with screws, bolts, etc. is this an easy fix and is there a section on body panel repairs here somewhere? my neighbor mechanic says it has to have some sort of adhesive to reseal it together. how is this done? thanks for any help out there. curley:cool

I get mine at a Paint and Autobody supply,It's not cheap either those 2 tubes cost $45 for the pair,and the gun cost about $100! But they make it in a smaller quantity's in tubes that you can mix by hand like epoxy!! or you can get it in Qt or Gallon cans!!You just mix it 50/50!!

Will that work for a C3 front fender? I need to remount the fender where it meets the cowl... we've talked about that area being a problem for C3s.

I know- the best repair is panel adhesive. I was just curious because the product above sets slower.

Yeah,It's what I use on all of them now!! It's STRONG STUFF!!They make it in all sorts of speeds,I just use the slow set because I'm getting slower!!!
