I know many say they always crack if glassed on a steel hood, but what about riveting- is there a method where the rivet head could be countersunk and covered?
well not really..........Is the scoop going to be functional?
How easy did the scoop bend/conform to that ridge in the center of your hood. My hood is probably a 67 and has two ridges that the hood inserts laid into. Thanks, GeorgeLol, a "riveting" experience .............

Sure, you can use 100° countersink pop rivets, and countersink em slightly below the top surface of the scoop, then skim body filler or dynaglass over them, but it will eventually crack around the rivets because the heating and cooling rates of the parts are different. The composites and glues of today are definitely better than 50 years ago, so it may last longer than this type of job used to last.I know many say they always crack if glassed on a steel hood, but what about riveting- is there a method where the rivet head could be countersunk and covered?
