Been there, done that!! Look at my build and you will see how I did mine!! Next time, if there is one, they are bolted in now.. It will be much easier.
Just cuz you cut the head off the rivets doesn't mean they will slide out. Below the surface, they are flared out from being pressed in, and they are still a mother to get out.. We ended up drilling out most of the rivet and punched out the rest.. That was the trick that helped me get them out.
Start at post #34 and go from there.
