Thanks.  I think for the left side I'll use your process.  If that turns 
out ok I may lay in rivets after the glue dries.  I'd drill the hole the 
correct size for the rivet so I could just dab a bit of white glue on it 
and press it in with my thumb.  That way the pins & glue could do all the 
heavy lifting and the rivets could just sit there and look cool. :)
