    Re: 66 Fan shroud
    The brand name is Evercoat Plasticworks. Vette panel adhesive/filler in a black can with a green panel and white and yellow/red letters. The part # is 870. It comes out of Cinncinati where all good Vette purveyors are. I believe that it has limited shelf life and does not freeze well.


    The question I have, is this still the correct direction to go for the fix of the shroud? I'll also clean the bonding surface prior to use of the adhesive. Also, I remember reading about the material to use to fix the engine cover from sagging while open (I don't remember the name of the stuff, but seems it was available from the big box stores) anyone remember this material or can you point me to the post(s) for this fix?

    Thanks again for your help.

    Dan, high strength epoxy? Are you trying to fix the part in your attached picture? It looks rusted...

    I don't know what the specs are on the material referenced but you want something that has good peel strength. If your shroud is SMC, fiber glass as some call it, with a clean surface the epoxy will be more than adequate.

      Ron,

      No, not rusted. Far as I know, it (might) could be Elmers Glue.... It's just the old gunk that was used to repair the fiberglass shroud many years ago.

      Thank you for your input on my post.

      All the best.

        HI Dan,
        The fiberglass BB 1965 fan shroud pictured is the old style fiberglass construction.(Not the SMC type) The Evercoat panel adhesive should work fine. Clean up the bonding sufaces on both piece and apply. Clamp together and No rivets. Painted semi-gloss black

          Daniel,
          If your evercoat is bad and you need another, I strongly advise JB weld. It's epoxy and strong as you will get.
          I also use it for small crack repairs that are to small for fiber glass cloth or where I can't get behind the crack to properly repair.

          I have used it since the 70's with 100% sucsess and no cracks returned.
