After that I re-reassembled the wing skeleton and riveted all the aft ribs to the main spar.
It looks better without all the clecos!

Riveted ribs to main spar: 8.2 hours
While reassembling the wing skeleton I noticed that I had gouged 3 rivet heads in the rear spar while match drilling the skins. So I had to spend over an hour removing the gouged rivets and reinstalling them. The process of taking those rivets out gives me a lot of confidence in their strength. These were some of the long 1/8" rivets and they were very difficult to remove.
