yeah man i would glue it on with some shit, (urethane ro panelbond or something of the like) and then just sand teh edges and bog it smooth, if u look at my build thread, we just glued mine on and then used sealer to smooth the edges out looks quite neat.

pop rivert the wing on...

grind the rivert flush with the wing...

apply fibre glass or what ever bog your using...

wait till dry..

sand back smooth...

paint...

its striaght forward....making it look nice comes with experience thats the only thing with body work

[khai2298]

mmm just trying to find somebody with experience who is willing to help, because i have never done this so dont want to mess it up.

use a bonding agent with fewer rivets, it allows for more natural movementand lacement of the panel

[khai2298]
