Nice jigs. Looks like you need a rear long through rivet jig though. They are a little flat it appears.

Yeah that's the way I do mine. I'm too cheap to buy a jig just to make the end pretty. LOL.

Two home made bucking plates and a shop vise can result in nicely formed rivet heads. Zero cost. Just FYI.

I think this is the way I will be going, thanks for the idea.

Great build for your first time out, hoping I can do as nice a job

That's a good idea akblue. I have a plate with the rivet head sized cup that I put on the left side, and then I crush the rivet tail with a hammer. I never really thought about making another plate, and using the vice to crush it. Thanks. I'll have to do that on my next build. (if I can ever afford another one. LOL)
