I did something similar on mu '70 Cutlass prior to MCACN this past fall. The NOS sill plates didn't have the rivets.

I put a piece of tape over the front of the Fisher Body tag on my factory plates since the rivet is so tiny and I didn't want to risk losing it.

I took a grinding wheel to the back side of the plate to get the rivet loose.

Pulled the rivet out and kept it in a safe spot until I drilled a hole in the NOS plates.

The smallest dab of super glue and some tweezers helped get the factory rivet in to the NOS plates.
