the whole car was built with welding, i'm not puttin my butt in it....welding has sheer strength...what does panel bond have??? prolly ok for cosmetic stuff but I'm a gonna pass,I seen a lot of places that stuff would be great to use......my welder needs a new emblem, simple test, take a air chisel and try to remove a floor pan.....even in pieces......then do the same with panel bond...Omg we could switch floorpans like underwear!!!!!!!! JUst Sayin

You'd be suprised. Bonding adhesive is just as strong in the sheer as it is in separation. Plus, to the guy installing floor pan, your going to install frame connectors right? Boom, no more structual issues.

If you do install them, as you very much should, You don't have to cut up the pan, like I see a-lot of folks doing. I got my 2x3 in there width wise tight to the pan, and welded in, never thought once to touch the pan.

once the panel bod is set up remove the screws and weld up the holes....best of both worlds

Panel bonding adhesive is flammable, and it's not recommended you weld after installation, keep a fire extinguisher handy just in case.
