Brief Description:  Match drilled the ribs to the wing spars

All the ribs in the left wing (except the tank ribs and the most inboard leading edge rib) were match drilled and clecoed. The missing holes in the three inboard W-711 ribs were drilled using the spar as the guide. I am going to deviate slightly from the shop guide at this point. Rather than removing all the ribs, deburring, dimpling, priming, reassembling and riveting, I am going to continue with installing the skins and do all the match drilling before breaking everything down.
