Yesterday I removed the Clecos fastening the top panel to the roll cage so that I could do more trial fit of fiberglass body panels. The Clecos were in the way so I replaced them with a few el cheapo blind rivets. These are 5/32" aluminum/steel rivets that are maybe one step up from hardware store pop rivets but they are only temporary and I will drill them out and replace them with A286 blind rivets when the chassis is finish welded and painted.
Things went OK until the last one-- the pneumatic rivet gun pulled the stem until it broke but the nosepiece bounced up and the broken end of the stem went into my thumb when it came back down. So I have a minor gash in my left thumb but a simple Band-Aid fixed things. Dopey accident; it is something I never anticipated, but I guess if I had, it wouldn't be called an "accident". Duhh.
