Re: '55 International Metal/Body/Paint Work
Once everything was prepped and aligned for the rear cab panel, I spread SEM panel adhesive on the corners and pulled it into place with ratchet straps. I used too much which made a mess on the outside, but I wanted it to have enough to squeeze out on the inside to fully seal up the seam. The metal will tear before this stuff loses grip of the metal! It can be heated for removal if ever needed.
Last test fit.
Adhesive applied and strapped in place until it cured.
The bottom corners were clamped into place and plug welded.
Once it dried I ground/sanded off the excess adhesive.
