The trim tag rivets look just like regular pop rivets to me. Head for a crusie in and ask a vette owner to look at his trim tag.

Don't have a pic of mine, but I agree with Lyle. Look just like regular pop rivots to me. That is what I am going to use during my frame up.

VIN tags use a special rivet called a rosette.

When I removed the kick panel to take pictures of the front body mount on my '71 that I've owned since 1975, I found 2 rivets under the carpet that the installer must have dropped at the factory.

They are 1/8 rivets with 1/4" long stem. I think they are aluminum.
