I have used glue and I have welded panels. Here is my 2 cents. I replaced both cab corners on an 88 Chevy extended cab pickup. For training purposes, I welded one side and glued the other. The welded side took about 1/2 day from removal to surfacer. The glued panel required that I grind the inside of the original panel (bare metal), then drill 8 small holes in both the cab and the new panel. I applied the glue, then placed 8 sheet metal screws through both to hold them tight for drying. The drying time was 24 hrs. I then had to weld up the screw holes and finish the patch. The glued side took 1 1/2 days. I could see this being a time saver in the case of a large flat panel like a bed side or door skin where it is possible to clamp it on to dry and not cause any warpage, but for my labor and with a little patience, welding is still the way to go.
