Also, if that cab moves around as much as my Cozy Cab, the pop rivets would shatter and the metal fall off after a week of use. Better off making panels and bolting them on, or welding them. The Cozy Cab has panels that remove, front and rear, but the metal is wrapped (bent to fit) the cab frame. So, he would need a pretty heavy brake to built that. Welding it all together it's bad. I've thought about welding mine together to make it more solid.

Not sure what kind of rivet you use but mine wouldn't break. I've seen people build cab's in the past and put the metal on with plug welds and the end result was all the panels being warped. I'm not saying it couldn't be welded on without warping but welding sheet metal without warping it is an art that alot of heavy handed welders don't have. I know plenty of certified welders that could weld a building together but couldn't weld a patch into sheet metal to save their lives.
