Scott 16 - Restoration Begun
#44

Russ, that's what I did on the power supply.  I'm just not very good with a hammer!  No practice.

As far as the tools are concerned, I have the setting tool for the semi hollow rivets.  As Russ said, hit it hard with a good backing and don't miss.  I also have an aviation hand rivet press with the proper dies.  This works for rivets that are on the side within 3" of the edge of the chassis.  They press very nicely.  Unfortunately, most of the rivets cannot be reached with this tool, so it's back to the hammer routine.  Since some of the rivets hold up to 4 pieces, it will be a challenge to hold everything in place as I wack it with the hammer! I'm sure the factory had a pneumatic rivet press that had a deep enough throat to handle the entire chassis.
