What are the rivets on the edge of the hood for???

[Bill Kesner]

Romanbuilt,

The rivets were a later add on as they found out that racing these original cars at high speed began to peel the aluminum hood apart, and split it at the front section.

I find it kind of funny that several owners place them on their fiberglass hoods, but I can also understand wanting it to look like the original race Cobras.

Hope this helps....
