John,

Those are honest-to-god rivets.  There are pneumatic guns--similar to 
pneumatic chisels--or large squeezers to set these (you also need a 
bucking bar to use the gun).  Both would cost a Benjamin or two, 
although you might be able to rent or borrow them somewhere.  Most A&P 
(airframe and powerplant) mechanic or experiemental airplane builder 
would probably have one or the other.
