Re: M20 Dreaming

Hey guys, this has turned into the perverbial monster, and I start to think how would have Bruce and Denny done this in the 60s. My guess (being a kiwi) is they would have rang the local hardware store and said " what have you got that will glue alloy sheet" the guy would have said , Ive got this. Bruce would have then glued two bits of alloy and he and Denny would have tried to pull them apart and if it didn't break they would have said " that ill do" and built the darn car. So I wonder if we are over thinking the whole thing, I love the ideas and stuff this is bringing to the task but Are we thinking 21st centry when we need to step back 40yrs, at the end of the day the lowest grade adhesive today is still light years ahead of what was availible in 1972 and I don't see those mono's falling apart 40yrs later. So lets just run with what you brung and see what transpirers. at this point I'm 60% 3M and 40% sikaflex. As I said at the start of this debate, Someone has to be the lab rat. it may as well be me.
Cheers Leonmac
