These are similar to the tool used by aircraft builders to squeeze solid
rivets and it works extremely well.  I'm building a light sport aircraft and
have used one to squeeze thousands of countersunk and domed head solid
rivets and they work great.  The results look very professional and holds
parts together better than a pop-rivet. You can get the squeezers from a
variety of sources and even purchase them used from some suppliers.  But be
aware that you will need the dies in addition to the squeezer when
purchasing.  The real question comes down to is it work a couple hundred
dollars to be "historically correct" for a few rivets?  Only you can make
that decision.

Bob,

I have one like that but made by a different company and it works very well
for the lip of the rear shroud where it meets with the trunk floor but it
does not work with the lip that meets with the support bracket.

I've wondered if one of these could do it: http://tinyurl.com/h3h7rcz 


 <http://tinyurl.com/h3h7rcz> Adjustable Hand Rivet Squeezer | Pegasus

tinyurl.com

Our Rivet Squeezer installs solid rivets up to 3 inches from the edge of a
panel. The head swivels 360 degrees, and the ram is adjustable for panel
thickness.
