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.

The "bathtub" for the trunk is pretty much complete. I'll peel the protective plastic skin off the panels before having them black anodized. The RH side will be home for the battery, kill switch, fuse box, some relays and assorted other electronics. Should be able to fit it all behind the panel.

Re: 65 Fairlane pro-touring build
Your metal skills are impressive. Wish I had a bead roller, or you were my neighbor
