I may have a need to remove some rivets (20-30) and was wondering if anyone can offer advice on how to do so without screwing up the finished structure.
Thanks in advance!

Burke,
Take a punch and drive out the stems of the pulled rivets. Then drill off the head of the rivet, you should be able to push the rest of the rivet out of the hole. It goes easy, try it on a practice piece first.

Just hit each rivet head with the drill enough to shear the heads off, the
bodies will pop right out, or can be tapped out with a punch. Don't try to
drill any more than it takes to remove the head. You can also tug the
bodies out with pliers from the back side.
Speaking from experience unskinning an entire wing panel, I can say
with reasonable certainty that you can do a LOT of rivets damage free this way.
Regards,
Jeff

You don't need luck, it's very simple. You just need confidence from doing
a few (hundred).
