[QUOTE="kofkorn, post: 368050, member: 7076"] Rivets are fun! :twisted: I wouldn't remove anymore than absolutely necessary, especially since you're planning on Glove-it afterward. When you've had the chance to go back and re-align holes and rivet, you'll understand. I would look at a couple of options when it comes to riveters: Manual route: Probably need two riveters, one high leverage version especially for the closed rivets, as these are hard to set, plus all of the rivets in easy access locations. https://www.amazon.com/Astro-Pneumatic-1423-13-Inch-Riveter/dp/B0039697ME/ref=sr_1_8 Plus a second low profile/maneuverable version for the harder to reach areas. The pivoting head is critical for a few rivets. https://www.amazon.com/Arrow-RHT300-Swivel-shoots-16-Inch/dp/B00004Z2JM/ref=sr_1_12 Pneumatic route: Probably only need one gun that will set nearly all of your rivets, they are generally lower profile, and certainly easier on your hands. https://www.amazon.com/Astro-Pneumatic-PR14-Air-Riveter/dp/B000MQ9H4W/ref=sr_1_1 For a number of the rivets that I had in tough locations, I had to get two hands around the grips of the smaller riveter and I had a hard time setting them. I'm not a small guy and on a couple of them I needed to take a break between squeezes. For my next build, I'm going to look into a pneumatic one to set 99% and use the small hand riveter for the ones that the pneumatic gun can't reach. Good Luck! [/QUOTE]
