hello everyone, im currently in the process of putting a new nose on my car after a front end accident. my question is what bonding adhesive is best to use to glue the nose on the car? i have a doner car that i will be removing the nose from and gluing on mine. car is a 75 and the doner is a 76. looking for something that works well. I drag race the car so it will be under stress with the front end lifting and lowering alot under heavy acceleration.

please chime in with anything to use or stay away from and any other advice you have about putting on a new nose.

Thank you.

If its an original urethane bumper I'd mount it the way your gonna remove the donor nose. If its a glass bumper I'd use Vette Panel Adheshive (VPA)

So your putting a fiberglass bumper on the front of the car and gluing it... I'd still use fiberglass bolt mounting kit with the glue possibly. I've never just bonded a front nose on a car without the bolt kit.

If this is the case I'd use the SEM 39747 two part glue when I put the front ends on the cars or any other panel. This glue has a slower cure rate then the standard two parts adhesives which gives you more working time when lining up panels.

The only downfall is you have to have the special gun to shoot the glue with. Maybe someone else knows of something better that doesn't require the applicator.

If it's a urethane cover, then I'd install it the factory way.

are you replacing the ''whole front end''?[fenders/hood/front headlight suround,,or just the front bumper cap?
