[TheForge] stubborn rivets

[terry l. ridder]

hello mike;

how goes it?
i did not think of the rust buster.
i have a gallon of wd-40 rust buster i was given to try and review.

option 2 would be good. I had not thought of the punching the center of
the rivet body. it should cause the edges of the rivet to collapse like
you said.

try it later. to warm right now. need to put my legs up. 
last saturday was the 9 year anniversary of the head-on-collision.
reminded of it everyday.

I am to old, broken & damaged to be repairing and demolitioning stuff.
it is not the years it is the miles and I have far too many miles on
this body.
