It's really pretty easy. A key issue is to make sure that you keep the
pieces for one side (element 3A and 3B, for example) together. If they are
right, the rivet holes will match. If they are not, then they won't.
You'll need a pop rivet gun, which you can get from Home Depot, Lowes, etc.
Just be sure that the pop rivets are seated well in the hole before you
begin to pull them. I had never popped a rivet in my life before my first
C-3, and had no goofs. Not puffing my chest, just saying how easy the
whole deal is!
