I remember seeing a schematic on the ERA website that layed out the rivet pattern very nicely. I was actually thinking of adding the rivets to my glass bodied car as a detail touch but never got around to it.
I was tempted to post the diagram in this post but then it occurred to me that because I don't own the rights to it I might infringe on ERA rights so here is the url to the diagram:

ERA's pattern for the scoop takes into account an offset that is specific to the ERA cutout.
The hood rivet pattern they suggest ( 8-0-8 ) is one of many that were added by owners when the comp cars found the need to "pin the skin"

As an aside: I used stainless 6/32 button heads drilled and tapped into the glass instead of rivets.

Roscoe, exactly what are "button-heads"? I am familiar with Type U Drive Screws but not with the term you mention. Would you clarify or direct to a source? Thanks.

I used the ERA pattern. Believe it or not. I liked it the best.
But I do like the 12-1-12 pattern.
