Learned a little trick some time ago, using a torch slice of the head of the rivets then hit them head on with the torch till they are nice and red, tap out easily with a punch held by vice grips and a small 2 pound hammer.
If you have a second body helping, this process can go very quickly..
Enjoying the build....

Lemme tell you...I FAWKING HATE RIVETS! Even with the plasma it took about 1.5 hrs to hammer that crap off with a 4 LB sledge and a chisel.
