How Manay rivets to mount the hood?
Are we really suppost to have 30+ rivets to install the hood? Most of the cars I've seen have been about half that number. I need to put rivets in my hood so before I start drilling whated to check.

Just ask Evan. He's the guy with a rivet fettish. ;)

The correct number of rivets on the hood depended on how many rivets were on hand!
Just ask Evan.... |
16 - Assuming that the ERA guidelines are correct. I just drilled my hood per their instructions two weeks ago - it looks good even without the rivets if you can visualize them!:D

This is the diagram I used. I also did not use rivets but stainless button heads. Much nicer and you don't crush the glass.
