Re: 1966 Custom SB - This is Blanca

I searched awhile ago on the easiest way to remove rivets from the frame. Tons of useful hints. Basically I started by "X"ing mine then using an air chisel, unfortunately my air chisel doesn't have a lot of jam so I switches to a cut off disc and took my time until each rivet was flush with the frame. I wasn't in the mood for smashing my fingers with my BFH so I took a old torch cut motor mount and ratchet strapped it across the frame after the head was off. I slipped my punch in though the holes and it gave me the freedom to hit the thing. It took one tap per and in about twenty minutes I had all 4 uppers out and I then went on to carefully cut off the bottom ones for both the cross member and the support plate. I still X'd each one then carefully cut them off but this time top and bottom and then took my air hammer and punched each one upwards from the bottom of my frame.



















I also got my tires today... oh and a kitten.
