I have been working non-stop on this issue for weeks now. I have the OA torch gear coming, the proper rivet setter for the air hammer, creating the custom bucking bars and the rivets to put a crossmember and battery box that was bolted to the frame when I got it, properly riveted. I will keep you all posted on the progress. When I am successful, I will create a complete how-to on this procedure. Riveting was a very mysterious procedure but hopefully it will turn out to be a piece of cake!

So far the cost is even halfway reasonable.
