1950 Upholstery tacks

[newvintage]

On the shoebox Fords, I have noticed that everything for the most part of the interior is tacked in, but some of it is tacked into steel!!! These twisted tacks I have pulled out, and of course all you get in kits are the standard tacks. I reused some of the tacks, but started thinking it would be time consuming to find all the original holes, so I decided to try to tack one in through the metal. These tacks are crazy strong! Now the question is where can I get some more. I cannot believe I am actually able to tack the upholstery through the inner sheetmetal, I thoght that had some special heavy tooling for this. Anyone know?

I call those things "screw nails' and they are really hard and impossible to cut. I think they are actually "driven" thru the metal and their spiral cut pulls the screw tight against the fabric. Try
