Yea i get what your saying.

I have mine bowed out quite a bit and without every single rivet there where gaps of like 1/4 to 3/8s all over the place and even then there where still gaps so thats what the panel bond is for, i rivet down all the gaps with a shit ton of rivets and panel bond, after the panel bond is dried remove the extra rivets leaving only the ones that are "supposed" to be there. So the panel is panel bonded already bowed out aka in tension i guess.

After the panel bond the rivets are just there for looks, another thing personally i like the car to look really nice, so having the quarters on good and tight makes blocking them to a glass like surface really easy, when they are loose they tend to get wavy.

I know i know, im retarded for wanting a nice drift car, but thats the reason why im currently building a whole different car for drifting and just sliding this one till i wreck it or finish the other one, prefereably the latter of course!!
