RE: Ground Effects
depends how big the gap is your tring to fill in you might have to use sheets of fiberglass then kitty hair over it. then the normal painting prep. see if you can find a how to use fiberglass book. i believe theres one on kit cars showing you have to fix and repair the fiberglass that got messed up making/shiping it.i molded in the rear fender flares on my dually with sheets of fiberglass its been 5 years no cracks yet.

Sex appeal for low riders. You learn all the bumps and dips in your town. All the rail road crossings, speed bumps, crooked drive ways into fast food restaurants, pot holes, road kill (very dangerous - you go first), etc. There is a cure - a pair of Tommy Lift rams.

Hello,if you have a boat manufacturing plant or a marine store near you,you might be able to buy some flex putty. This is a bondo type adhesive that retains it's flexability. Don't forget to p/u some catalyst too. this is what we used at sea ray boats to spot putty the stringers and sub floors ect in place with.

as for the adhesive...i need to bond my GT/CS side scoops on....i ordered some adhesive i the past but it didnt show up with my order and was later notified they were all out of it...
that should work for my scoops right?
would you paint underneath the scoops or just leave it primer, glue the scoops on and paint as one piece?

definitely need to paint under there otherwise its gonna rust primer is absorbs water just like filler does its a little different when dealing with expoy primers that have better corrision resistance but id do it to definitely be on the safe side
