install the rivets then solder them on the inside.

Dave, I was planning on doing a little soldering on the inside of the
panel seams in critical areas, so I’ll be sure to do the rivets as well.
The bronze gas trough mating surfaces will need to be soldered to the
tank as well.
Not sure if I should try to “tin” the trough’s mating surfaces before I
rivet them down just to make sure I get good solder coverage
when I do the final soldering.
Once I get the solder I need to practice on a test seam to test
out my electric iron and get the feel for it.
Thanks.
