Wrong fiberglass resin?
I used 3M fiberglass resin on my 80 to mold the bumper in. I didn't realize that there were 2 different kinds of resin. I have been using 3M fiberglass resin on my 73,77 and 80 for the last 25 years. I never had any problems. My 77 had the front bumper molded in with that for 8 years and it never cracked or had a problem. I put a 3/4 nose on the 73 and never had any problems either. Well the nose on the 80 is all painted so I am not going to change it until something if anything happens.

They are sticking fine. I also ground down the nose with 40 grit .There dosen't seem to be any problems. If it happens I will fix it over the winter. But like I said I used it on a 77 and didn't have any problems for the 8 years I had the car.
