Grill Rivets...Solid or Blind?
I want to install a new grill. The original rivets on our grills were solid from the factory. All the kits available use blind rivets. Is this the only way to redo them now?

Take a look at the repro grill rivets for 65-66 Impalas, solid domed head with threaded stem, worked for me.

Re: Grill Rivets...Solid or Blind?
I have rivets. What size do you want & how many? You will need a rivet squeezer or a air hammer & bucking bar. (It’s not an air hammer, but it will do if you turn down the air). You can probably get by using a bucking bar (a piece of steel to back it) and a punch & hammer.
