Rivet Removal: What Are Your Best Tools & Techniques?

[prostreetC-10]

I hope someone will agree with me on this so I don't sound like I'm full of S**T but I like to use my cutting torch. Once you get good with one of those, it's like an artist and a paint brush. You can get the rivot hot enough to blow away with the oxygen but it wont affect the frame.

My 2nd choice is the air chisle...not good on fillings in the ole molars though.

If I have a tight spot that is hard to get to I will use the gas-axe but I can do the open ones about as quick with the chisel.
