    The sail panels I bought were on E bay already had the material glued on.

    The first time, I tried using 3M adhesive spray. That didn't work. Bubbles started forming and material didn't stick well enough.

    Still not sure what is the right glue to use that flexes with the material intact without separating.

    I think this is who I got mine from.

    http://www.ebay.com/itm/1970-1974-Cuda-COVERED-SAIL-PANELS-Colors-Available-70-71-72-73-74-/171023978116?pt=Vintage_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item27d1d2ce84&vxp=mtr#ht_987wt_669

    One extra thing you might want to go is to re-inforce the area around the clip with fiberglass.
    The clip has a tendency to want to break away from the cardboard when you flex it inward to the connecting clip hole.

    I started the motor yesterday, starts and runs strong. have carb adjusting to do. No Exhaust on it yet (very Loud :) ). Had an oil leak from the filter mount. Fixed that. one Exhaust manifold bolt has a small drip of anti freeze. removed the bolt put sealant on it and replaced, drip should be gone.

    Wheel alignment and exhaust are the big items left. Have a few ground issues in the dash, figure those out today. Wheel alignment this afternoon (Maybe). exhaust tomorrow.

    Closer, Closer.  :bigsmile:
