Default 35 Phaeton Chassis restoration

The restoration of my Phaeton started for his chassis. My car was modified to install petrol (diesel) engine, also had the front and rear suspension modified, was craked…. but I have other chassis from a 35 Cabriolet, this was more rusty than my Phaeton chassis, so we are using both chassis to complete one on decent shape.
My chassis is all dissembled, and we are patching all parts prior to reassemble, but have some doubts about what holes are correct and what not, I want to remove these additional holes, but not sure. Is there any detailed information where I can check what holes are correct and what not? Diagrams, pictures, etc
Also I want to ask about the reassemble method, It will be possible to do it with bolts instead of rivets? (Most of the holes where re-drilled to bigger size) what disadvantage it would have? I know that Roy Nacewith have these rivets, but how difficult is to riveting them on the chassis? Any advice?











Best regards,
Fredys
