Once the tooling was set up and a couple of test rivets were driven, the rest of the rivets took about 8 hrs. If one really wanted to get with the program, the rivet heater will do 2 rivets at a time. Most of the down time was waiting for the rivets to heat. The guys spent the rest of the day driving the staybolts on the inside of the firebox. They got 98 bolts driven on the inside - 8 short of the entire right side sheet.
