I removed some of the rivets (those little re-inforcement bracket ones toward the rear of the frame) but not all. However, if you are going to powder coat (I did not) I would highly consider the extra work of the removal. I think the end results will be worth it to you. I would recommend using grade 8 bolts for reassembly.
