how do you remove side skirts that are riveted(sp?) on. i have found some side skirts but he said they were riveted and hard to take off because of that... ?? would i be able to do it or do i need to get a body shop to?

Find a bit small enough to only drill the rivot and not into the fiberglass and drill the head out. They will come right off. Actually I'm in the process of using rivots for my sides.

Shit is all apart. Typical...

thanks. the guy is having it took off im pretty sure for $200 at a body shop and i thought that was really high but he is paying for most of it so i probably wont have to be doing it. i might also be buying his car tho the only thing is its a blown engine but im going to drop mine in it if i do that.

Just keep in mind once the rivets are removed, you will have to redo the fiberglass and use bondo to properly fill in the holes left by the rivets.
