My normal choice is drilling. If they happen to be pop rivets make sure to punch out the old center nail. If there is room the head or peaned side can be ground off.with a grinder. If there is a washer under the pean I would chose that side since the rivet will tend to protect the finish of the remaining product. You can use small grinding wheels that chuck into a drill or a small angle grinder. You didn't mention if these were copper or steel rivetts, but doesn't matter other than copper would tend to load up the grinding wheel.

Dear Carl: I have removed rivets by drilling them out. Take care to find a bit that is just large enough to catch the rim of the rivet where it passes in to the material being held together. With a hand drill, this will not be the most precise work you have ever done, but that was the only choice available to me at the time. If others have better suggestions, then please ignore my suggestion.
