Hope everyone is having a great day, just wondering if someone can advice me in which glue to use to repair a chassis and body that came off, is an older BBR 365GTB4, I have Tacky glue white and clear and epoxy, or do I need to get a different glue? can anyone help?

Thanks!
Abel

Update, I use epoxy I minute set time because that's the one I had, put it in and hold the chassis with the body with painters masking tape, I let it sit and rest for almost 24 hours and it looks like it work, the beautiful BBR 365GTB was saved, I just checking so often to verify is not separating again, thanks again for the advice.

Regards
Abel
