I know this is going to sound like "are you nuts", but there is a product
that is available at paint and body stores that is called "panel bond" It's
yes, a "glue". Quite expensive but incredibly strong and water proof. I
don't know how many of you are familiar with early Mustangs, but they have a
BIG problem with rusting in the cowl area where fresh air enters the inside
of the car. New pieces are available, but to weld them in is a BIG hassle,
Panel bond to the rescue, it's a two part that uses a special applicator gun
and I think it would work in your situation. Tests of this product shows
that it is stronger than the steel it's applied to.
Check it out.

Subject: [Tigers] Retro-fitting fresh air vents
I've successfully cut the holes for the fresh air vents without screwing up
the new paint job. Now I've got a few questions before proceeding.
1) According to the instructions I downloaded from TigerEngineering.net,
"Install the rebuilt vent housings into the shells and rivet them in place
as
described in last months Tip". And where would I find that? The rivets
can't
look that pretty. Any other ideas?
2) Where do the drain hoses go? A photo would really help.
3) Just to satisfy my curiosity, the Series V lower dash has a vertical
flange
on the passenger side end. It is lacking on my car. What is it for?
4) Unrelated to any of the above, should the JAL tag and the screws holding
it
be painted the same color as the body? I assume so, but when I got mine it
was just covered with red primer.
Thanks!
