So, I'm almost done with the car. I finally saved enough money to do the top - it's the winter project.



However, I'm trying to get the chrome pivot pins out, and what a pain! Many of them are held in place with roll-pins. Ive been able to get some out with a drift, but there are a few that will not budge. Ive tried drilling them also, but they just seem to dull the bits (using bits meant for steel/metals) I've got them soaking in PB Blaster, but just can't get some of them out... Any other ideas? Is the top frame aluminum? Could I use heat? Any other ideas?



Also, what do people do for the pins that are rivited? Just leave them in and paint them? I heard a rumor of someone who made stainless caps for those, but he hasn't returned my call yet... Anyone have any thoughts??



Thanks in advance to anyone with any help!!!
