I think they body panel glued them in. which is just as good as welding the glue is good for 22,000+ psi so i was good with that.

this is true^ but we only glue on roofs, never quarter panels or patch panels.

mud/bondo etc isnt bad on a car, but too much is, getting the metal straight as possible is key, then a little mud to make it perfect.

Yea only certain panels can be glued on cars if done correct. Patch panels never. Quater panels can be done but we normally wont, roofs and bed sides on trucks are about the only thing we will glue on and they still have to have welds in certain areas to be done correctly. 200 is dirt cheap and materials to do that would be close to that so I cant see it being done right for that price. I think eric is being cheap for 500. Eric does good work for his price, cant beat it :thumbsup2:
