On his last Streamliner, Howard used some kind of glue in addition to 
rivets to hold flanges
on body panels. He didn't use a lot of rivets -- they were about four 
inches apart.
The glue, adhesive, 'stuff' was what is used to glue Aluminum honeycomb 
together.
That 'stuff' held up with no sign of failure for three rough salt years. 
Howard is an
extreme perfectionist so I don't know if it would be considered a 
practical thing to do
by most people.

Just a thought, not a suggestion,
Bryan
