1968 Shelby Vin Plate Rivet Color
« on: May 13, 2021, 04:11:42 PM »
I need to reattach my 1968 Shelby Vin Plate to left apron.  I have a February 12th car.  I purchased some rivets from AMK specifically for this application.  The rivets are black.  Having seen many pictures I have seen black pop rivets but it seems the majority I have seen are silver.  Which is correct or are they both acceptable?

Both were used but more so in part of 67 production. Use the silver ones on your 68 and it will be a safe bet.
