A big step was done last night, i glued the loadbed parts.
(When the glue was dry i weld at some Points where i sanded down the paint and painted with weldprimer)
The first heavy load since Years 🙂

I've wondered when those panel adhesives would start being used to secure panels on our buses vs. spot/plug welds. I read somewhere the adhesive is just as strong, if not stronger. It sure seems like it would be a huge time saver when putting panels on. |
I've used 2 part panel adhesvies on other cars and they are great. I think an ideal use would be to put belly pans on Sambas or 215's or sunroofs or similar bay windows with belly pans. Just attach with glue and some self tap screw to clamp. The cool thing about this is the pan would be rather easily removed if you needed to service something under it, like brake lines or wires. Just hit with some heat and it will release. The lack of welds might lose a few points, but for a driver it makes sense.
