to each his own, really. There was a couple of those rivets that i wasn't able to easily reach with my grinder, and my poor ears can take the hammering alot better than all the noise from the grinder.

however it would be easier with cheap grinding wheels than it would be with a dime-store chisel, but everybody needs a good set of chisels!

to this day i still think i changed more engines out in either the cold or the blowing sand with either a Minneapolis Moline or an A frame before I was 18 than after (thanks dad...) nowadays i'm happy to have a 40x80 Quonset at my disposal. still not much for heat, but it beats being outside in the sand!
