Nick,
I used aluminum rivets for mock-ups BUT stainless rivets for final assembly
Better hurry with that build....... oh, never mind, it's Winter up there now
Harbor Freight has a air rivet gun that pulls the 1/8 and 5/32 SS rivet real nice. Cheap. No blisters on these hands.
Easiest way to remove SS rivets is to drill it out with 1/8 or(5/32) Cobalt drill bit. Think I have about 100 of those bits!!!
I'm now trying to figure out how I'm going to mount this fiberglass body......but that's another story.
