On the first part you are trying to take apart..... What is it? I could not identify what it was. You may have to drill the rivets slowly to be able to remove them with a small punch or drift pin..... but do you really need to remove them??

On the second issue ..... if you are talking about the heavy canvass trim around the engine bonnet/hood .... you can remove the nails carefully.... try twisting them loose from the underside then pull from the head. The nails have a twisted shank and need to be turned as you pull on them.

The nails and the canvass trim are easily available from restoration suppliers here in North America. We can assist you in finding the proper suppliers or act as a middle person.

You will also need some kind of fabric webbing or synthetic material to act as anti-squeak gaskets between each body panels around the fenders, arches and cowl area.
