Yes, I see that it is riveted together on the underside. I was wondering whether it was perhaps spot-welded together on the top side, under the center strip. Probably not. I'll remove the strip tomorrow to confirm. Additionally, I found a "bullnose" polished aluminum hood center strip with clips for $33 at Chev's of he 40's. Wondering if anyone has installed that one? It's a lot cheaper than going stainless...but will require regular polishing, no doubt.
