I hate rivets. They harsh my buzz out in the wilds when I want to disassemble things . . .

How about nails? Much of the interior is attached with small nails, including the last two pieces of trim that will see Gretchen Ghia's body entirely stripped and ready to separate from the pan. Well, once I get the doors off. Those massive phillips screws have resisted efforts to come out so far. Oh, and the rain gutter trim still riveted on on the driver's side.
Anyone know what size bit it is that fits these?
The trim is at the door on the latch side. One screw at the top, and nails down to nails through a metal plate at the floor.
Any suggestions on extricating these pieces? Do I put in new nails in the old holes on re-assembly? in new spots? Here's what those nails look like.
Here's the paper hose that carries heat to the vent in the rear window. What's the logic of the larger bit in the middle?
Innovative hose clamps on it.
And here is one of the reasons the body is coming off. Sag. This is the sag between the door and the body at the latch on the driver's side.
I understand there are some spacers between the pan and the body that compress over the years causing this.
And I managed to get the gas door release cable extracted. The handle screws off, but mine just twisted the cable into two pieces. Dang it.
Anyway, there it is. Cold today. First snow.
