1) Same as the original comp cars and if so, how did you do it without distorting the hood skin as the pop rivet pulls it down onto the steel frame?
2) Fake style - simply drilling hole in the hood skin and glueing the rivet body into the holes.

Looking forward to any replies
The whole aluminum body is attached to steel substructure. Why do you think the hood skin rivets would be different? Are you using the correct length aluminum rivets?
