What tool or machine did ford use from 28- 29 ect to rivet the body panels together,im trying to replicate it and if there is a original tool I'm on the search as I don't want to weld everything together. Any help would be great, thanks

I have post a number of responses and pictures of the setup I use to install floorpans, seat frames, trunk platforms and other sheetmetal items that I have riveted when restoring my two cars - a 28 special coupe and 29 phaeton. I normally can install body rivets by myself, however some riveting requires two people to accomplish the job. If you want to see what I did and the tools, send me a PM with your email address and I can send you some pictures that would probably be helpful.
