there was somebody on here who autobody panel adhesive'd his on. can't remember who though. turned out pretty nice if I remember. just gotta keep the panels tight if there is anything, like a hood hinge, that bolts through. maybe even drill those holes and use the bolts, with large washers to spread the load, to keep the panel tight while the glue dries. not too much glue around that area as well so it can't become a bulge when the bolts tighten. since it would be cemented on you could use filler around the edge to blend it and make it look like a single panel.
just a thought.
