How have you installed the "Hollow Rivets" used on the center console cigarette lighter chrome trim bezel?
 
I see their is a clincher tool out their ($100), just seems that it should be easier and more cost effective another way

here is my measurements
 

I purchased the Total Control Product front coil over suspension kit.  I've watch the 2 youtube videos a couple times each and have gone over the instructions with a fine tooth comb. 
The issue i have is the strut rod they supplied is pushing my lower control arm too far back toward the rear.  Ive tried pulling my camber all the way forward and maxed out the strut rod to the minimum length and still does not line up the lower control arm.  I cannot even get the verishock to go inside the aluminum mount.
Ive measured everything out, check and double checked part numbers and everything seems to be correct.
TCP right now is kind of shrugging their shoulders as they don't have an answer for me.
 
All the metal on this car is factory original

so i have a NVU gauge setup on my original instrument bezel and ready to install in my dash.  This is the problem... they do on utilize the metal bracket that has two mounting tabs to the car frame by window. 
So that leaves me with the lower mounting holes and the dash pad holes to mount this instrument cluster... is this correct???

A M A Z I N G that is all i have to say about Best in Show restoration of my rimblow steering wheel. 
 
I am very particular of my car's restoration and will call out someone on their craftsmanship if i do not like it and i am nothing but impressed.
I also selected the option of the rim blow switch installed as well, they did a good job on that. 
 
I will upload photos of it installed later!
