Prepped right skin and started riveting: 7.5 hours

Got a lot done today. In the morning I deburred, smoothed, dimpled and primed the right skin. After lunch dad came over and we started riveting together the rear spar. As the afternoon progressed I was able to finish riveting the rear spar and also get the front spar riveted. I used the squeezer for the rear spar and some rivets on the front spar. The rest were done with the rivet gun. No bad rivets. I may touch up a little of the primer later. So far everything is going well.

Rear spar complete!

 

The front spar was much quicker...

 

Now ready to start riveting ribs and skins.
