Thanks for the input guys. I am having trouble posting.

Well, now I can post again. A moderator must have read one of my many pleas for help. Thanks!

I am not seeing this in pictures, but I'll pay more attention when I look at builder's pics. I am seeing bulkhead supports but no rivetting going on.

I have only seen one alloy bodied cobra since the 70s and that was in Moon Twp. If I see another one, I'll have to check it out more closely.

I was reading a FiberFab manual for a Cobra and they didn't do a thing like your saying with the fibreglass.
