Nose Lift
Can anyone tell me what they used in 1981 to bond the fiber-glass body parts to the metal support pieces. The front edge of the front end closest to where the hood begins is lifting up and away from the metal nose mount support piece. Can I use regular fiber glass adhesive resin?

The factory used various products through the years. But dont worry about what they used, it obviously is not holding now. Clean it up under there as best you can and use a good epoxy or urethane based compound.
