i worked at a collision shop sweeping floors n washing cars for a summer once, they used the 2-part panel adhesive a lot when replacing the entire side of a car. everything i've seen says it's stronger than the spot welds. cheaper with labor for a collision shop to use, but more expensive for an OEM.

i almost bought a panel flange tool to use on my FIL's Ram. flange one side, panel adhesive, skim coat, sand, paint. i've also seen ppl use the adhesive to glue on a flange from the back before the new panel from the front to still get flush panels from a butt fit. would have taken longer than what i did though, and the truck wasn't a restoration project.
