As far as the glue goes I'd use panel bond adhesive or the glue they glue vette's together with.

Its gonna be a tedious job but but worth the effort First you must clean al areas to be repaired to remove the dead resin from the surfaces ( resin is not UV friendly and shrinks(evaporates) over time) Yes you can use plastic wrap to seal off surfaces but it will be difficult to prevent wrinkles. If the underside of the TA hood is painted you should be able to get away with mold release only On exposed seams where you don't want resin to seep into you can seal with candle wax and smooth to fit Resin will re-adhere the cleaned original and new parts Bondo (plastic filler) will not work as an adhesive. I would suggest you make some practice pieces to test how best to join the new and old pieces for strength, a metal insert in the new hinge mount area wouldn't be a bad idea. Thats my

I have seen people use aluminum foil to block off and form areas.

1. This sounds like a valuable, repairable,and historic mopar part. 2. To be blunt, your FG repair knowledge apperas is not yet up to the task to undertake this repair with without the high risk IMO of a non reversible failure. 3. You need to take some baby learning steps first. 4. FG can be very rewarding,and full of costly surprises. 5. I am not going to participate further as I see a potential train wreck 6. Sorry if my succinctness is not what you wanted to hear..
Reality check, that half the population is smarter then 50% of the people and it's a constantly contested fact.

1. This sounds like a valuable, repairable and historic Mopar part. 2. To be blunt, your FG repair knowledge appears is not yet up to the task to undertake this repair with without the high risk IMO of a non reversible failure. - How does one learn without putting forth the effort 3. You need to take some baby learning steps first. - Good Advice 4. FG can be very rewarding and full of costly surprises. Lessons learned are seldom free 5. I am not going to participate further as I see a potential train wreck - How about setting him up for success instead of "I told you so" 6. Sorry if my succinctness is not what you wanted to hear.. Most everything I've learned has come with failure and success. Failure teaches how to overcome, if you chose to. Success is the reward for trying. Its only a car part and not the only one on the planet so do your do-diligence and look up the how's and whys and give it a try.

Its only a car part and not the only one on the planet so do your do-diligence and look up the how's and whys and give it a try. My concern is is also for those on the sidelines, who might casually think this project is a walk in the park. I was rather concerned about "learning'" on such a valuable original item. I also personally have taken on many projects with little first hand knowledge, ,before the internet, and was nearly always told it was too difficult, etc. Comment #3 is maybe were I should have ended my contribution. And I have learned over the years, when most say "I told you so", its rather pointless, as it should already be self evident, and if not, they weren't paying attention in the first place, and therefore serves little purpose to remind those that didn't listen anyway. I tell my guys, I'm the boss because I have made more mistakes, learned from them, and paid for them, then any of my associates.
