This is how the car started. It was a hardtop.

I first drill a hole into the rivet. With a number 50 drill.

I then drill out the head of the rivet.

Next I tap the hole with a number 2-56 thread tap.

This picture shows how the screws fit.

Out comes the WHEEL! And off goes the roof!

This is how I prepare the car for reassembly. I only cut the roof off of this one. Tomorrow I plan to paint.
