Re: 65 Fairlane pro-touring build
I've started the trim panels for the trunk area. The first one didn't turn out the way I wanted, so there went several hours and a piece of material. The second one turned out much better (so far). I still have to position the Dzus fasteners and get them all to line up. Fortunately, I can still remove the quarter panel patches and access the trim panels from the backside which will help a lot.

Re: 65 Fairlane pro-touring build
Work continues on the trim panels for the trunk. Was able to position the Dzus fasteners for the driver side panel without any issues. I boxed in the trunk support and cut a template for the LH rear panel. I'm leaving a 3/8" gap at the bottom of the panels to allow for sound deadener and carpet.

Re: 65 Fairlane pro-touring build
Thanks, Jim. Have you experimented with the panel bonding adhesive yet? I know you mentioned you were getting some pieces ready to give it a try. I had a small amount left in one of the cartridges and squirted it out onto a piece of paper then mixed it manually. Used it to bond a stiffening rib to the inside of one of the quarter panels. It was "oil canning" a little bit before and now, it's solid as a rock. Good stuff.

I’m at the point where I’m wondering how strong the chemical smell is, my work shop is connected to my house, and any strong smells is objectionable to the Mrs. I guess I’ll just have to waist an applicator tube to find out Also wondering how viscous the panel bond is as the distance between my screws to secure my panel, right now they are 6” on center Thanks for checking back

This is my method for securing my panel, if I can’t get the screws out after panel bond sets up, I’ll just cut the head off. They will have a washer/ seal under the head of the screw to make it easier for a flush cut to the panel 8/32 hex head with J clips

Re: 65 Fairlane pro-touring build
The 3M adhesive I use is a bit more viscous than JB Weld. It stays put fairly well. My shop is in the basement of our house and the adhesive odor is not very strong. Bondo is way worse. I've been using stainless rivets to hold pieces I can't clamp. Then I use a spot weld cutter to remove the head. A thin layer of kitty hair helps prevent any witness marks from showing thru. By the time you apply a skim coat of plastic filler, high build 2K primer and a good sealer, you'll be ready for the topcoat.
