I had a feeling that they were the way to go. In prep I sprayed them with a little PB Blaster and after a soak I hit them with the Air Impact on low pressure with a #4 Phillips Socket. They broke free without much drama. I just did one at a time, then tightened them back up.

Thanks for telling me about cutting the rivet! I would have torn the inside of the door apart!

I was thinking of making a sling from tow straps and hanging it from my little forklift. The car is up pretty high on jack stands right now and I don't want to move it while a good part of the floor is removed. Is the top of the frame strong enough to support the weight of the door, or am I asking for trouble there?
