Dan,

Good luck and don't worry about chosing to bond the body yourself. I did that as well. If it's not too late, one good suggestion: drill all of the rivet holes for the front inner fender panels before you take the panels off. Also, when drilling, just drill enough to mark the steel tube that reinforces the hood opening, then remove the panel and drill into the tube. I must have broken a half-dozen 9/64th drills before I figured out the problem! It's very hard to line up the drill properly centered on the tubing when you can't see it.
When all of the bonding and panel mounting is done, you'll feel a great sense of accomplishment plus you'll know more about your car than you ever imagined!

I'm still a long way from finishing my car, but I keep finding more reasons that I'm glad I chose ERA.
