How are the raised rivets fastened? Are they just faux heads with adhesive or do they go through the body? Incredible detail.

The attention to detail you are putting in will turn what could have been an amazing project into an absolute masterpiece. Beautiful work - can't wait to see more.

Dzus fastener were a little more challenging, first we pulled a mold from a full scale fastener. Then we fabricated our own from plastic and plated them in aluminum. Next we recessed them just below the top surface and epoxied them in place. They sit-up just above the top surface and look exactly like the ones used on the P-51.. The last stages of polish will add a nice highlite to them. Only 84 more to go :-)

Looking fantastic and I'm really looking forward to seeing it progress.
I keep forgetting that it isn't an aluminium car.

BTW, I'm pretty certain you'll find they're called "Dzus" fasteners, not Duce.
