Re: Smooth Hood
Believe it or not, BMW has you do things like "glue" (we would never say "glue" in front of a customer, it would be "bond" LOL) a frame rail or quarter panel on. We just did a 2018 BMW following manufactures guidelines splicing the quarter panel at the rocker, B and C pillars without a single weld! Bonding in a support underneath the seam then "bondoing" over the top with a metal filled "bondo!" There wasn't one single weld, all "glue" and rivets to hold the quarter on.
I have seen the same with a frame rail, we are talking a front frame rail where the bumper bolts, fully bonded without so much as a bolt or rivet.
The "glue" has came a long way!
