Well, most of the summer progress has been to try to get to a place where I could use my buddy/boss/riveting partner Tom could help me rivet the top skins on the left wing.

In that respect, mission accomplished.

We clecoed every 4th hole, riveted, then pulled the clecos and riveted the rest. Here’s one of the early ribs…

And the shop heads to go with it.

Repeat this 14 times, and I had a full left wing top skin riveted.

How about a more artful shot?

2.75 actual hours, so logging 5.5 toward the build. 425 Rivets.
