Hi alviga69,
The glue I use is this:
I drag a thin strip to the bottom edge of the blade
Then put it in place on the grooves on the grill. While it sets I have to support it, making sure it sets straight and perpendicular. Once it's dry the glue has a sufficiently strong enough bond but means I can only work with one blade at a time. Photo below only shows how it looks after the glue has dried.
A little update:
I've painted Alclad Chrome onto the side blades and rear vents but there is some very slight bleed from the masking tape
. Hmmm....just as I am typing this I've run along the panel line a wooden toothpick which seems to have helped slightly. Not quite as shiny because I didn't wait long enough to make sure it had a very glossy black base, but good enough. If I could I'd have covered it with BMF instead but I don't have any. Alclad has not been cleared to preserve it's shine.
Front grill has also been chromed and work has begun on the engine bay and working out how to connect rods to the engine lid/hood. Bodywork is pretty much 98% complete. I just need to spray black the window surrounds and finish off and attach the grills.
Thanks again for the interest. Please do let me know what you think.
