[QUOTE="DaveInGA, post: 264788, member: 166"] With the sheet aluminum cut and ready to install, I needed to drill some holes and set some rivets. Here's some old school tools for you, power cord and pneumatic line attached. They're big, bulky and have the power to get the job done and save you labor. The DeWalt drills torque and a high speed steel drill bit made short work of drilling out 1/8th inch aluminum sheet and the Harbor Freight Pneumatic Riveter handled those high strength rivets with ease. I was done with the storage deck in a few minutes and never even got a sore arm: [img]https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v33/DaveinOakwoodGA/1986TrackerV17/Progress052512/OldSchoolTools.jpg[/img] Part Number of HF riveter: [img]https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v33/DaveinOakwoodGA/1986TrackerV17/Progress052512/HFRiveterPartNumber.jpg[/img] Storage Deck installed. I tried out my excellent battery powered drill, but the DeWalt was the ticket in this situation: [img]https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v33/DaveinOakwoodGA/1986TrackerV17/Progress052512/DeckInstalled.jpg[/img] [/QUOTE]
