The Duramix you cite is for SMC panels, good for 74-82 cars. What year are you working on?

O Ok gotcha. The year I am working on is a 69, and I am puting on a new "aftermarket" replacement clip.

Safest choice would be to use a bonding compound which is compatible with with SMC and polyester fiberglass. Your new clip might be SMC. Your old, stock panels are polyester.

I used three tubes of 3M 8115 hanging the new nose on my 70. Best price I found was here http://www.foxruntools.com/panelbondingadhesive.aspx and free shipping on orders over $99.

Always shipped same day

All the inner fenders stuff is already bonded in, I just need to bond the clip to the car near the firewall and doors. How much do you think I will need?

Tough to say, but probably more than one. Better to have more on hand than you need and return the extra.
