You'll see the round outline of the hole/rivet, just take a center punch and BFH and pound it out from there.
I had my frame blasted then tore it down further, will get it redone again before coating.

It appears you have a much nicer work area than myself! I've had some experience grinding rivets, I'm not excited about it, but plan to start tomorrow.
