[QUOTE="Ronbedard57, post: 491612, member: 28449"] Hello, What a beauty! Dale's comments on rivets are spot on. I'd only use blind rivets where the originals were also blind. The tools for solid rivets are inexpensive, and the process is easy to learn. Have earmuffs for both you and the helper. That instrument cluster on your dash is the same one that was on a '62 Hydrodyne I had years ago. Very cool. You can really improve the clarity of that windshield with one of those graduated abrasive polishing kits for headlights. A good winter project. Have you researched whether the paint scheme is original? Looks awesome. Good luck! Ron [/QUOTE]
