Epoxied the body on today using a TAP 2-part fiberglass repair epoxy. Went pretty well although the mixed epoxy didn't end up quite as stiff as the test batch I made up. However, it was probably about as stiff as possible and still work through the fillable caulking tubes I used. It did a pretty good job staying in the joint. Still a lot of rivet holes left to drill out - probably about half through (I hope). Only broken one drill bit so far.



TAP epoxy and empty tubes from West Marine. I think I have a life time supply of 2-part epoxy left over.





Also, epoxied the nose bar in front of the hood. Everything lined up again with just a little pulling and tugging. I still have the rocker panels to do.
