[QUOTE="Johnny, post: 437033, member: 13599"] yes, we drill out rivets when removing items from the hull. the best method to plug the holes would be solid rivets. just enough length to hold them fast. if you use pop rivets or any protruding fasteners, it could be problematic later on. as you get more involved in your project, you will find hammers of different sizes, tin shears, pop-rivet gun, bucking bars for 3/16" solid rivets, and the list grows as your needs to modify grows. [ATTACH type="full" alt="Brazier Rivet.JPG"]92918._xfImport[/ATTACH] [b]This is a bucking bar I made out of a 1" x 10" bar of round steel. the dented hole must be perfect without ridges or swirls as the rivet head will mirror what is used to set the tail. of course if you are not concerned with cosmetics, you can use a 2 or 3# flat face hammer for the dolly. (which will work fine, just the head of the rivet may have a flat face).[/b] [ATTACH type="full" alt="bucking bar 1.JPG"]92919._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="bucking bar 6.JPG"]92923._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="bucking bar 3.JPG"]92925._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="bucking bar 4.JPG"]92922._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="Bucking Bar 7.JPG"]92924._xfImport[/ATTACH] .
