Thanks for the info, I read through the threads, I will post some more pics specific to my situation in hopes that we can all reach a consensus on the best path forward. Just for reassurance, my buddy with the collision center that is helping me with the frame, this is the garage at his house:Others have reproduced the rivets a number of ways. I think you can still buy an equivalent for ship building and the like. You'd need the (air) hammer and anvil/die. Wouldn't be too hard if there's a corresponding inner frame hole to work through.
The other way I've heard of is by using a high grade bolt and nut. Once installed just carefully grind the head to look like a rivet. Probably could give the inner nut the same treatment and then weld it to the bolt shank. Just make a note of it in the records so future generations will know the score. Gorgeous 40!
