69 Nova SS Grill rivet color
On a 69 Nova SS grill are the 4 flat head rivets @ the upper flange blacked out along with the blockout trim on the SS grill, or were they bare ?
BKH how do you guys do them ? ref picture below. Thanks Mike http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b1...aSS1-08202.jpg |

Mike, leave them bare or natural.. Attached is a picture of Joe Swezey's 69 SS Dana Nova restored by the Supercar Workshop.. Picture is kind of tiny but you can see the rivets were left natural. I acquired this photo from the 2006 Nova Nationals from the Nova Research Site... I also have some old, vintage photos here at home that show the rivets as natural from original, unrestored cars..

I always thought they were black https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif

Re: 69 Nova SS Grill rivet color
We have in the past left them natural, but I think there is evidence they could go either way...BKH

Re: 69 Nova SS Grill rivet color
Guys, thanks for the feedback. Interesting that they may have been both ways.
I find it strange that any painting was done after the upper support was riveted on, however it may have been a vendor thing ?? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif Maybe someone else will chime in. Mike |
Re: 69 Nova SS Grill rivet color
Its a lot easier to just paint the whole thing black. Perhaps age was also a cause for the paint to flake off the aluminum rivits...BKH https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif

Re: 69 Nova SS Grill rivet color
Exactly, I always thought that the alum rivets did not hold the paint very well. This is one of those things that is hard to figure out bec/ it's 38 years after the fact!

Re: 69 Nova SS Grill rivet color
The grill is blacked out on the SS cars and not on the standard car?? Maybe that is the reason.
