Default front clip glue?

Getting ready to put the front clip back on my 77, what's a good glue to use?

Thanks

Default Front End Glue

I use Lord Fusor 21T. It has 45 minute work time and works like a charm.

I just used 3m 8219 it is a dual cartridge, worked great.
sets up amazingly well.
but you have to to buy a dispenser gun,
you can buy a "Generic" gun for about $50

Depends

You can go for the high priced Crazy Glue and Elmer's Glue I guess.

Everlast makes a very nice product called Vette Bonding Adhesive. It is your choice of using the blue hardener or using the regular color.. you can get it at you local supply for 24 bucks

Stock '77 panels are SMC. As long as you are using an SMC compatible adhesive, you should be okay.

Thought most were using 3M's 8115. Good stuff. Works. Lasts. Sets up pretty quickly so make sure your prefits went well prior assy.
