    It's coming along great! Watch out bonding hood and roof skeletons like that though. The skeletons can actually pull down and cause dents over time. There is a specific 2 part nvh adhesive for that purpose.

    • @KalvinMalli
      @KalvinMalli  4 месяца назад +1

      Interesting! So the oe product allows some movement? If anything like that happens will definitely address it and fix. Appreciate the knowledge!

    • @chrisanderson9931
      @chrisanderson9931 4 месяца назад

      @KalvinMalli kinda. It's more of an anti-flutter design and made to act more like a damper. There is always a slight gap and when you pushed the skeleton against the roof, let the panel bond cure, and removed the bracing, it leaves the bracing in tension pulling down on the roof skin. Over time, if the panel bond doesn't give and the roof skin does, it will "pull" dents down into the roof skin. You may not ever have an issue but I have seen it happen to a hood. Just sharing experience. Keep up the hard work!
