Any advice will be appreciated.

vhord,

Bucking rivets is not complicated, but a lesson would be a good idea. The equipment is a air chisel, available at Harbor Freight for about $10, a bucking bar, available at Aircraft Spruce for about $10 and up, I bought this one :P/N 12-01298, rivet sets, available at Aircraft Spruce for less than $10, rivets, correct drill bit, available from Inland for about $10 or so and an air compressor.

Since you have the inside skins out, buck rivets would be better than olympic rivets.

I would be glad to show you but you are a little far away.

Bill
