My rockers are looking pretty tired. So I am planning to remove, strip, and re-paint.

They are currently on with rivets which I assume I can simply drill out. Correct?

But how to I re-install? Never done any riveting. Is it hard? Can you buy a cheap revit gun? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/confused24.gif) Or, is there a better alternative.

I am a little lost here, so any suggestions / directions would be appreciated.

thx (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/pray.gif)

A CW question here, but aren't the original rivets for the rockers the same plastic ones used on the threshold plates? I know that most are now pop rivets or screws but what is factory correct? My recall is white plastic for the early cars and black plastic for later cars. CW's, help me out.
