Brief Description:  Prep left wing skeleton

Prepped the left wing skeleton by countersinking the remaining rivet holes in the main spar on the bottom skin side, then deburred all rivet holes from both side on ribs and spars. Used the pneumatic squeezer to dimple all rivet holes in the ribs and rear spar. deburred and dimpled the wing walk doubler. Used a fine flat file to taper the outer top corner of the inboard wing skin. This is done to create a "scarf" joint where the outboard and inboard skins overlap at the front. The skeleton got a good cleaning and wipe down to remove all metal shavings, then I clecoed the completed leading edge back to the spar. It is now ready for riveting and the wing will start coming together again.
