The rivets are available. I just bought 2 for my car. And their perfect reproductions.

If you have a numbers correct car the replacement rivets calls into question the originality and makes it look like you switched tags. ----- Original Message ----- From: Richard Milkiewicz To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, January 14, 2003 6:27 AM Subject: Re: [Chevelle-List] blasting a body The fastest, safest and best way to strip a car is acid dip. It will cost about the same as media blasting. Maybe a little more. They don't use sand. Sandblasting is one of those universal words everyone uses to describe what they want done. They do sandblast the frame, I'll get mine done this spring. Acid dipping will get in every nook and cranny and remove EVERYTHING. Rust, grease, paint, sealer, etc. But you get back virgin looking steel. They bake it in an oven to melt and loosen everything then dip it and then it is run through a neutralizing bath. Just had mine done and  I couldn't be happier with it. The solid floors I thought I had...... well their not so solid. I have to replace two small sections in front. Right where the air conditioner was. I had a Mustang media blasted once and it turned out to be a nightmare. It will punch holes in weaker metal even if there are no holes there now.

I'm trying to decide if i want to rent a Rotissorie (sp?) and do it my self, of just let somebody else do it.   Thanks, Kyle Bennett Raleigh, NC
