I did a web search and came across a product from Norton Automotive; Panel Bonding Adhesive in their SpeedGrip structural adhesive line.

SpeedGrip Panel Adhesive

I'm sure 3M would have a similar product, but couldn't see it on their website. Couldn't see the same under Eastwood either.

What did the factory use on the GT5 models? I don't have any pop rivet heads showing on the inner fender wells of the GT5?

Julian I dunno about the factory GT5, but I have a factory GTS andit has fiberglass flairs. They are riveted on and then they used 400 metric tons of lead to smooth it out so you can't actualy see the rivets and can just barely feel them hidding under the paint and lead. What you can see after 35 years is huge friggen stress cracks where the lead gave up the ghost under the paint.
