What is the best method for removing the old rivets out of the frame,got one out somehow, but the other one cut the head off and even heated the hell out of it and it still wont come out even with an air hammer and a punch, this sucks

This has been discussed a lot. Try searching the old posts. What worked for me was grinding off the head, center punch, drill about halfway through with a 1/4" diameter bit, then punch out with a punch and BFH. I do not have an air chisel, but other here have spoken well of their use.

Yes this horse was beaten to death recently. I see no need for another thread on it.
