I'm planning on transplanting my mid 30's firewall and gas tank with a late 31 indented firewall and gas tank.

What is the best method for removing the firewall? Grind the rivets off the various braces, or drill the heads off?

Also, when re-installing, is this a cold riveting operation or hot? I noticed the rivets are set with a waffle face.

I prefer to drill the heads off as grinding can damage things if you sllip ( yes we all do) but both work.

Oh yeah - I am pretty sure all body rivets were cold riveted with waffle tool.
