Default Bonding Adhesive?

I'm about to put the front clip on a 72. How much adhesive, do I need to get? I also need some extra adhesive to replace the Header bar too!

Thanks

Did you see my "adhesive in my eye :eek:" post ? http://forums.corvetteforum.com/zerothread?id=518571
DOHHH !

I am using this: Evercoat 870


I have about a 1/2 quart left. I was hoping another quart would get the front clip bonded on. There is another header bar post right now. I would consider
a more flexible adhesive for the header bar.
:seeya

I just used "SMC" (I'm not sure if that's the name of the product or just the name of the material) to put on the fornt bumper on my '73 and it seems to have held fine so far. :thumbs:

I use the evercoat 2 part epoxy bonding adhesive with a 1:1 mixing ratio because it is recommended for use on everything including metal to fiberglass bonding. You will probably need a couple of quarts.
