I need to replace the damaged center crossmember in my '30 Coupe. To do this I see that the eight rivets on each end must be removed. Is there a way to remove the rivets on the back side of the crossmember without lifting the body? Any suggestions that could help make this job a bit easier?
This car will be a basically stock driver and not a show car. But I have far too many suggestions that I just hotrod it because it has such a nice body...

Any chance you could patch it? How about some pictures.
