So guys when riveting on body parts what size rivets do you guys use? The short, medium or long ones? Also will it crack the fiberglass?

I would suggest a variety... You'll need to use the one that reaches through the body and overpanel

You may want to use washers to help prevent cracking. I would use 3/16" diameter aluminum rivets. The steel ones would probably crack the fiberglass as they clamp quite a bit tighter. Just my opinion though as I have not installed any...........YET.
