Hesitated for a while, dreaded having to use the rivet gun and bucking bar on something that will be very visible. I drilled out the first rivet but then they went in without to much hassle. I think there might be 2-3 rivets that I need to give a few more blows but I think I wont have to drill out any more of todays rivets.
It was very difficult to find a bucking bar that was great for the application, I used on that I consider good but it could not fit for the last rivets so I had to use one that is adequate but not more...
