Any special trick to removing the rivets from a 49 Chevy grille? My angle grinder will not reach all of them, I hesitate to drill them out, afraid I will bung up the holes.

I used a small air driven die grinder with an abrasive stone to grind the heads off the rivets. With reasonable care there was no damage to the holes. Will reassemble with some rivet head screws and nuts that came in a grille hardware kit from Jim Carter
