: Take a piece of stock gauge metal and cut it to size just about 1/4 inch wider than the opening and use JB Weld to bond it to the inside of the opening(inside the cab). Once cured, Go over the outside with the appropiate filler to smooth everything out. Is it crazy or not too bad of a budget idea??? Thx for the comments, J | | | | | Joined: Sep 2004 Posts: 235 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Sep 2004 Posts: 235 | I saw that being done on the show "TRUCKS" a few weeks ago. But they used something else other than JB weld. You should be able to check out there website for more info.
For me I'll stick with my welder. Good luck | | | | | Joined: Mar 2000 Posts: 784 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2000 Posts: 784 | I think they make a panel adhesive just for that. Check your local auto paint supply store. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2006 Posts: 16 Junior Member | | Junior Member Joined: Mar 2006 Posts: 16 | that will work just be sure to rough things up with some 40 grit first. I fixed the water jacket in a jap moter & put 50k miles on it. | | | | | Joined: Jun 2006 Posts: 5 Junior Member | | Junior Member Joined: Jun 2006 Posts: 5 | I appreciate the info Ya'll... | | | | | Joined: Aug 2006 Posts: 237 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Aug 2006 Posts: 237 | Howdy, I think they are using a product called FUSOR. I was kind of thinking of using it along with a few spot wields. I have a good friend that is restoring a 64 Impala and he is using if for most all of his metal panel repairs. Here is a link for the stuff. http://www.refinishmaterials.com/ct_CGmetaladhesives.htm I hope that helps… Good luck!

Yes you can "glue" these panels in, is done every day in the manufacturing and repair of automobiles. BMW even has a repair bulletin for the 2004-06 5-Series where you glue the frame rail in! No welding what so ever, only glue! Here is a bulletin from GM on gluing in a patch panel. http://members.aol.com/whatcouldiknow/gluepatchpanel.jpg Brian
