I don't know about using epoxy on an outer panel, might show unless you get
it very flush or bit lower and fill over but the limo company I work for uses
an epoxy to bond the aluminum floor pans to the steel driveshaft tunnel and
to the steel on the original chassis. They also use a large number of self
tapping sheet metal screws to snug it down. The epoxy is very strong but also
very expensive. If it were my car I would rather weld it than epoxy, then I
wouldn't worry about the strength or durability of the repair. If you don't
have any welding experience you might check your local vo-tech school, they
usually offer night courses that don't take long and are fairly cheap. Once
you know how to weld and get the equipment you will wonder how you ever did
without it. But be prepared to make a lot of new friends when your neighbors
realize you have a welder.
