Thanks for the response. Does anyone else have any input or comments on the smash rivets being used in this circumstance? It may just be obvious to all that you just use a normal aluminum rivet.
Anymore advice would be appreciated.

I think the term "smash rivets" means the rivet needs the other end mushroomed to hold, like in the old steel buildings and in aircraft appication If so I would use the pop rivets, aircarft uses them also but there not as easy to get and of course anything approved by the U.S. Goverment cost a lot more money than the same parts not approved I used steel 1/8x 1/8 or 1/8x 1/4, CRS pop rivets on my Duster hood, same thing on the new hood for the Cuda
