Re: inner cowl panel? weld in or epoxy?

follow up-

I used duraglass to smooth out the welds on the cowl and painted with eastwood rust enscapsulator, then primer. I used shop line single stage in an aerosol can from a local paint shop. Im a crappy bodyman and painter but it looks good to me. This is a low buck project to learn. I had to grind down to bare metal where the adhesive would bond.

I used a panel glue from saimax 750 from a local body shop. It had a long working time of 70 minutes or so, which was nice. It looked pretty runny but stayed in the seams nice. It sat over nice and feels real solid and set up well. I have a few spots to clean up. I liked how it came out.

A few pics to see how it worked. adhesive squeeze out on first pic, cowl to windshield seam in the second and cowl before panel install.
