fixing to put full quarters on the 71 and have a few questions. theres some places im just not going to be able to get to to weld. where the panel sets on the rocker panel behind the window frame work for instance. was thinking about the adhesive and maybe if i can get my drill in there setting a few screws. is this the accepted method? also where the panel goes over the window frame work. this is a tight spot for me and welding may make things look bad. will the adhesive work here. also do i glue the panel to the striker frame work? i guess what im asking is hwere di i glue and where do i weld? Thanks Dave

I welded my Elky 1/4s along the top,down the door jamb to the rocker panel,and down around the tail light.Then I glued the lower edges uup over the wheel well and across the bottom edge of the panel to the jam area/rocker.Hopes that helps....
