I have purchased replacement aluminum rivets locally (here in SF) and made a couple tools to both help hold the rivet heads and expand the bottoms like factory. When I have finished any of my Chevelles (mostly '67's) they have all had a factory perfect look without any odd fasteners. I can assist anyone with this if they live in the area, but if I can do this I'm sure there are others around everywhere as competent. Ed
