[Healeys] Metal Glue

Supposedly, it's possible to do metal panel repair with adhesives. I have no experience with this, but it can be done. 

Here's one product:

Is there a commercially available glue that is strong enough to bond some 
metal body panels that may have some paint on them? A few of the spot 
welds on the reinforcement piece under the hood next to one hinge have broken. 
It allows some flexing of the hood in that area. I don't want to re-weld 
because I don't want to have to repaint the hood or car. I know that any glue 
will only be as strong as the bonded surface and if there is paint under 
there, it has to bond to the paint. It also has to bridge small gaps since 
the stamped metal support piece is not perfectly flat where it has to join the 
bottom surface of the hood. Am I dreaming or is there a glue that might be 
worth trying to fix this problem?
