1956 Model F -crashed, help

[jazzkatts]

I recently purchased a 56 model f, nice lil v-hull, like 4 weeks ago. Last week I was washing it, left it on the deck upside down, horrible storm came through, picked the boat up and slammed it into a tree. Nice 10" long dent about 3" deep and knocked out 10 rivets. I am sick over it, but want to fix it. The rivets aren't common, and I am nervous about pounding out the dents and someone called the rivets "blind rivets". Any input greatly appreciated. TKS
