    Red face first panel riveted in... for the love of all that is holy, get a pneumatic rivet gun

    LOL got the first F-panel installed and realized I didn't have any oil for my air riveter, so I used my manual rivet gun...

    OMG I can't imagine doing this whole car with a hand rivet gun! to those of you who have, I'm sure you have a FIRM handshake!

    Highly recommend that you get an air riveter, the one below also has a catch bucket so you don't have the rivet shanks all over the floor, believe it or not a bunch of them can be quite slippery! like ball bearings!

    what's nice is that there are adaptive sizes

    off to get some oil so I save my hands LOL
