Track car build

I grew up in a family owned body shop of 45 years in business. You are correct, adhesive is VERY strong....sometimes stronger than welding. The problem with your idea though is that it’s only good when assembling panels. You can not use it on pre-existing panels.

With some ingenuity and steadfast determination anything is possible. Absent this, fabricators will be stuck in the ways of the past. Adhesives technologies have grown significantly and are being used more and more in automotive fabrication and other high-tech industries around the world. If people wish to be stuck in the past, technology will roll right past them.

Remember the Ford Mustang race cars start life as a 4 cylinder rental. The bodies in white, or street cars made into race cars, really don’t have the option to add adhesives so seam welding is really the only option. Multimatic is well versed in composites yet their GT4’s are seam welded.

Exactly.

Amazing. I get so envious reading posts. It drives me to keep moving forward. Following your progress... whether you glue or weld that thing together.

Building a car = $$$$
Living vicariously through someone else's project = $0
I like that shade of blue - looking forward to seeing it in the sunlight.

This is one of my favorite part of the build seeing the new body come together

Look for a Mexico Blue Porsche. That’s the color of this Mustang.

Fred,

Paint color looks good. Been trying to get a hold of you for a couple weeks. Let me know if things are still on.

This car is going to be too beautiful to put on track.
