Re: My fiat project
It's not a good idea to glue these panels on. These parts were not designed to be glued. Modern cars have glued parts but only in specific areas and the parts have been designed from the start to be glued. The big problem with epoxy is it will melt if you take a heat gun to it. It is not really permanent like a weld is.

Re: My fiat project
Does every one just use a plain stock oil pan with your rebuilt? Randy had other ideas and I'm wondering if I should go stock or follow thru on what he had planned

Re: My fiat project
I'd bet it depends on how aggressive you get in the corners, and which engine you're building up.
My 2L has baffles and I haven't had any problems taking turns like a stunt driver.
What was Randy's vision for the car?

Re: My fiat project
It sounds like a great upgrade to have. What size engine are you building up? I saw that you're getting rid of your 1608.
