[A/S] Restoration Tools

["Mr. Joy H. Hansen" <joytbrew@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Harvey,

I think I found a neat tool at Harbor Freight, an Air Hydraulic Riveter.
It's backordered for what ever that means to H/F as items in the past were
never delivered.  The price seems right at $39.99.  Jim Weston at Airmark
Tools didn't think I'd be happy pulling rivets with the manual tool for very
long.  I watched an A/S serviceman use one and I thought it was almost as
neat as a pneumatic bottle jack.

I'm always using some type of pop rivet and this tool, if it's delivered and
works, will save me a lot of time and pull panels together better than I can
with my hand tool.

Have you any experience with an air needle scalar and compared it with other
types of wire brushing?  I've got a ton of rust on the frame up front to get
knocked off  some pretty tight places so I can paint with rustoleum.
