Started riveting the HS back together again. I started with riveting the angles to the ribs, then there are 4 easy skin rivets (that was removed for access) that needs to be riveted.
The 4 trimmed location gets rivets to nowhere.

It was surprisingly easy to rivet the spar stiffeners, mainly because the existing structure offers support to both rivet gun and bucking bar. Access was good, even with my larger than average hands....

I was about to finish up when I discovered that the #27 upsized holes in the ribs still didn't clear the rivets to nowhere. I decided to remove the corner for better fit, deburred and splashed some primer on the ribs.
