Plastic Rivets Needed, Tackling Rocker Panels This Weekend
Well i'm going to be tackling the passenger side rocker panel of my 97 this weekend by welding an entire new panel in. Having looked at it in detail tonight it looks like along with the door the front fender's going to have to come off so I can get to the front of the rocker. In order to do this i'm going to need to remove the plastic fender well cover and will have to destroy the plastic rivets in the process because they won't come out any other way (i've tried).

Anyone have a good source for these rivets at local stores (hardware or auto)? I want to reinstall it considering the mudding and what have you planned for the truck. Thanks.

Any other suggestions on the rocker are welcome. I plan to remove and replace the entire panel given how bad off it is. Going to tackle the driver side when I finish this one.
