If I can mini tub just by gluing the tubs together I will do that. Less money. Thanks! I have a 69 Camaro BTW

Replacing the outer wheel house with the quarter in place can be done however you will need to get all the mating surfaces down to bare metal before bonding. So take your time and pay attention to the flanges and your cut lines and you will be fine. The strength of the bond depends on the cleanliness of the prep work and the "best fit" of the metal, in other words, you can't have gaps in the metal and expect the bond to hold as intended .... get 'er tight and clamp everything tight.
Good luck!
Kinda cold for shooting epoxy ... sprayed outside and brought the parts into the heated garage to flash and now they are sitting in the bedroom curing. I got the trunk drip rails and the top dash in primer. Tomorrow I'll get the heat going and bond the dash top.
Thanks for looking and asking questions ...
