Working on my 69 Biscayne hood and I noticed all the areas where the factory bonded the outside sheet metal to the inner brace are loose, I assume from the sun over time. My question is has anyone ever had to deal with this? Maybe use panel bond? Problem is the hood sheetmetal flex's when you try to block sand it

Kind of a sore subject. It will be at the painters 5 years on December 3rd.Good news it's all together and block sanded except for the hood. This is the second hood on the car because I had the dustless blaster blast some areas on the bottom side of it. It was so warped and made it useless.This is a replacement hood but he ran into some areas that are flexing and we discovered that that the anti flutter adhesive has broke loose in 80% of the brace. Good part is the motor,transmission and alot of other area are ready for assembly.

It's anti-flutter foam. There are a few manufacturers. I think Fusor is most common. It's a two part urethane product. I don't remember the product number but you should be able to google it.

Good term to learn, thanks! I see that Wurth and 3M advertise it as anti flutter urethane. Not sure if panel bond is the same.
