I am telling you guys, todays "structural" bonding adhesives are doing things like holding frame rails together! I had a car once in the shop that had the quarter bonded on, there wasn't a single weld outside of the C pillar EVERYTHING else was bonded, and it was done very badly. A horrible job, very little grinding, it was really funky.

The car had NOW been rear ended badly, the quarter was hammered, buckled very badly all over, wheel well buckled even. The only places where the bonding broke was at that wheel well, and it was probably only because it was done so poorly.

Here is a little science project my son did with it. Pretty wild to see him now at 21 years old this morning driving off to work.
