[SEL] Riveting

[Curt]

Paul,
Go down to your local industrial fastener house and buy some 1/8" hot 
rivets about a 1/4" long. Roll and drill 2 holes, one on each end. Hot 
rivet those. Then drill a hole at the mid point and hot rivet it. Then 
fill in the rest. You'll enjoy hot riveting.....it's quite fun. I did 
both saw tables on the Herc and Famous engines.
Did the Stover use galvanized like the IHC engines? or plain sheet? If 
plain are you going to age it first?
Has anyone had luck with aging techniques for galvanized?

Look at this picture of my muffler, I sandblasted just the area where the rivets are so you could see them clearly. I do not want to use pop rivets so what is the best method to use to replicate these rivets. What kind of tools will I have to have to do the job or maybe it would be best to send the shell to someone who could make a new shell with the rivets. Just let me know what is the best method.
