Just got a OEM ram air hood. I didn't want aftermarket. It was in an accident and just a couple areas to repair but nothing I can't do. Thing is I want to get the right epoxy to glue a piece on.

Where can I get it, name and price

Thanks!!

Yelo

any slow-set epoxy will do

Thanks, I've seen that black stuff, don't know where to get it or the name.

If this is the case, I'm going to try the liquid nail.

It 3M 8115 you can get it from any auto paint store.

You will also need the gun to use the 8115, the part number for the gun is 8571p.

Any automotive paint store should carry a product called "panel bond". It is a black and white-ish two part epoxy that comes in a siamese tube setup designed to be used with a purpose built gun. You don't need the gun. Don't use the applicator/mixer tip. Squeeze out equal parts of each tube on a piece of cardboard and mix completely. This stuff takes 24 hours to cure. But once it does, the parts it "bonded" ain't ever comin apart. lol
This stuff is a pain in the *** to sand so use just enough to bond your parts. No more, no less.

Sweet thanks 108! I have 2 areas one about 7 inches and another 2 inches. So not too bad.

3m Automix 8115 is the best stuff to use. And u can use it for anything else u want too.

The 3M 8115 panel bond takes a special applicator gun. Its the best stuff to use.

Thanks I used something similar. The project turned out PERFECT! In short I cut up my stock hood, I had to replace the entire mounting point on the right hood hinge. I cut off the the entire section on the stock hood. I epoxied metal support under the hood ribs then expoxied the perfect metal form (OEM hood) then drilled and riveted in everything. I still need to body fill and smooth the rivited area. I just bolted it on just to check alignment and OMG its 90% on the money!! Got to love OEM!

The top of the hood is perfect...Saved a about 600 on a used OEM Ram air hood...

You're going to have halo's around the rivets if you leave them in there and put filler over the top of them.
