that's so awesome!
I used to watch a friend of mine, spend hours repairing his banged up dirt track car's sheetmetal. They all pop-rivet the panels on, but must drill them out to remove the panels. I suggested industrial velcro to him several times (Charlie would just give me that, over-the-glasses, under the brow, stare...
)
Riv-nuts: The key to using them is a round hole, then proper expansion. Standard drill bits tend to make this tri-lobe shaped hole in sheetmetal, no good for riv-nuts. You really want to use a sheetmetal drill bit, or a regular but undersized bit, followed by and on-size reamer.
Keep the suggestions/experiences coming.
