Hey guys ,  Im working on a '76 getting ready to paint.  New nose, repairing cracks, etc. .  My question is ,  what is the product(s) used that glues / attaches the inner fenders  to the outter quarter panels ?  It looks like a rubber/ epoxy of some sort.  I talked to the guys at the autobody supply and they said GM used different materials different years.   They suggested I talk to experts ........ OK EXPERTS,  whats the good word ??   thanks for the help !!!Big%20smile

Fiberglass bonding compound; same as all body panels.  On your '76, if the panels are original, they are SMC.
