Brief Description:  Right wing bottom skin riveting #2

That's a wrap for the right wing. Bottom skins were completed today. The outboard skin was prepared for the overlap (scarfed) at the leading edge, deburred, cleaned and then primed.

Today, I dimpled the skins and started with the overlap and made my way across. I had to drill out a few rivets along the way as I was at an odd angle occasionally since I was riveting it by myself.
Using the string method, I was able to rivet each bay without any issues, except the cuts and hacking up of my left forearm.

Back to work in the morning, so I'll try to prep the left wing inboard skin tomorrow night.

Someone looking at this site tried to send me an email last night (3 xs), but nothing came through.
