I need to buy an air compressor clearly.

Good thread, just did mine.
Got an Ingersol Rand 118 max air hammer and was well worth the $105 on Amazon! Here are my learnings:
- this air hammer will pop rivet heads off in about 20 seconds
- rivets that only go through the frame and inner C will easily drive out with the air punch
- rivets that go through a bracket (body mount/spring hanger) Frane and then inner C can be driven out with air punch after I drilled about 1/8” to 3/16”

same air hammer you got?

Mine is the 118. This may be a newer version

118 was more $$$ oddly...

It looks like that Ingersoll Rand hammer is out of production. I found these two available in Cvanada. I guess I should go for the heavy duty one for twice the price. Isn't inflation great.

Don't forget ear and eye protection!

I'm coming up on the two year anniversary of this job. I think I'm still sore from it!
