I’d rivet them but use some kinda of flexible sealant to keep shit out from in between the fiberglass and metal panels. ---

Ive seen people put metal patch panels on with that bonding stuff instead of welding the panels on. I wouldnt use rivets because they would be a pain to smooth over when filling the seams and they might pop thru the bodywork. ---

use some 3m body adhesive, (black 2 part mix) then self tapping screws to hold it on once the glue has dried take the screws out and do filler work. ---

Yeah thats the way to do it. You want to use some type of fastener that will stay in the body when its all said and done. Just countersink them so its easy to glass over afterwards. ---

Use SEM M.P.P. adhesive vs the 3m stuff. still available at any good autobody store. far superior bonding of dissimilar panels and longer working time. What’s the mil thickness of these overlay panels? That’s going to be the determining factor of what needs to be done, especially if molding it completely to the body. using improper adhesive for what your desired end result can result in failure of molded seams. just food for though. ---
