Anybody know of someone who can do the rivet work for an AK build?

Do you already have the parts kit?  Anymore it costs more to buy and assemble a parts kit than it does to buy a ready made AK, especially if you also have to buy the tools.

I'll check Run n Iron.

Yes the box of parts + receiver + labor + 922 parts will cost more than a WASR.

Not crazy about Arsenal or some of the popular stuff, kind of hit and miss as of late.

Its an old 70's vintage that needs new life. I just need someone to do the rivets.

You may want to try to contact "Atomstwins" on ARFCOM.

He lived in Lincoln last I knew and I think he used to build a few kits.
