The adhesive is made by Duramix. It's called large panel adhesive. This same solution is used to bond the roofs to some major manufactures cars and trucks.

Duramix is good stuff. I've used it for repairing plastic body parts (like the front bumper off a Ford Taurus wagon. The things a person will do for a date, only to be turned down  ) The stuff is pricey, but works really well.

Thats it. GTVs IMO look bloody awful in black. For some reason it hides the lines instead of enhancing them.
GTVs also just blend into the crowd in that dark blue, any green and the light yellow. I'm also not a fan of silver because just seems too modern a colour for a basically 60's car.
Just my opinion ofcourse .

Bella, bella, bella...
I stopped by Group 2 today to drop-off some misc. brake line hardware and the new 15" rims. I will let G2 select the appropriate tires as they will match brakes, tires and suspension accordingly.
The color 'cut-in' looks outstanding. I can't believe that almost of all of the color you currently see is going to be covered-up with putty and trim work. It is absolutely the correct color, as I recall from the original chassis section where it showed the factory French Blue and not the P/O attempt at Le mans Blue. It is a great color....

From my perspective there is quite a bit to do....but we are certainly very close. I would say that by next Spring this car will be turn-key, ready to go. It will definitely be out on test runs throughout the late Fall and into Winter, but come Spring it will be ready for fast road and track day driving.

Mubezzi.....I was at the AROC convention this past weekend and not one early '69 105.51 GTV was to be seen. Definitely no French Blue GTV was to be had....but plenty of maroon, ocra yellow, pino verde and of course reds were present. Your car would definitely have been unique in this company of colours.

On a race car though I think black could work very well on a GTV if the colouring was done like the old John Player Special sponsored cars..... this would then highlight the cars lines rather than hide them.....
Add some of those nice old gold simmons wheels and personally I think you'd have one very neat looking track car....
See attached examples of Player cars....

Good things take time.........and money. I think I have all the parts necessary for the rebuild minus a few known items, but enough to proceed.
