Try a glue gun. That must be what you have holding the rear pieces in now.

Haha hey Andy. Yeah I know I bought a tube o liquid nails I'm pulling off the fender (with the heat gun ) and will put it on as soon as soon as I verify that this liquid nails stuff will do the trick. Im trying some out on some broken pieces. So far it's taking forever to harden but it looks like it's working

WTF????? Liquid Nails???? Put that chit down and don't bubba the car.

Ok, I can't stand it any longer. You can use Vette BondII or Fusor Panel Adhesive.

Better get out the Corvette America catalog, you're going to need some parts.
