Yeah, I’m not sure if I were to do it again that I wouldn’t use the rivets either. I used a combination. I used panel bond on both sides of the fiberglass bonding strip. So the sheet metal is bonded to the fiberglass and the bonding strip. Is panel bonded to the actual clip.
Arlin, I bought most of my replacement parts from Corvette Central. They have probably the best selection of structural replacement parts out there. Here the url for the header bar. www.corvettecentral.com/c3-68-82/body-frame/door-floor-roof-fiberglass/68-82-front-end-reinforcement-header-bar-metal-143004?returnurl=%2fsearch%3fcurrentsearchcategoryid%3d%26q%3dheader%2bbar
You're old pieces look good clean them up Prime and paint
The boss is living his best life!
I’ve been there but I didn’t use the rivets, they’re gone. I used fusor 101ez. It’s great for fibreglass, it doesn’t set until you put heat to it.

@@mayermotorsports it was very easy actually with the fusor. A header bar should be one of the first things you do.
I have a 79 Corvette where did you get your header bar from what's the best place thanks Arlin.
