This may sound stupid, but I ordered some aluminum rivets. How do you install? Thanks, David

Rivet gun, Manual hand operated, or air rivet gun. Harbor freight cheap but work good.

Rivets for what?
Most of the body pieces, and underbody parts that are riveted take a specific rivet tool, and back-up. Basically a shaped/molded tool that would form the rivet when pounded on from the other side. I have seen a few NCRS guys that went thru the trouble of making their own rivet set tools, because just pounding on them with a hammer don't quite get it done right....
