Flop,

Great work and I love the pictures. I'm preparing to build a 29 rpu cab from all original parts doors forward, new subrails, quarters, and Brookville back.

Can you snap a picture of your method of setting rivets? Do you do it by yourself?

I plan on putting the body together using #10 sheet metal bolts and then removing them one at a time and putting in the rivets once I have it all together.

Is it OK to ask how many hours are in this job at this point ??

If not that is OK
