Brief Description:  HS Assembly and Match Drilling

Got my missing parts last night at about 7:30 Pm ( couldn't bellieve FEDEX delivered that late). So today I started by prepping the two reinforcement/splice angles - first had to trim off the ends, then bend the ends to a 6 degree angle, then match drill with the forward spar, then countersink for the two center rivets on each. After finishing and installing those I was finally able to move ahead in consonance with the directions. Was able to get all the holes match drilled in the skeleton and from the skins to the skeleton ( man there are a lot of holes). Then I disassembled everything and started on the deburring and edge smoothing before I finished for the day. In picture one below, there are two pieces of angle reinforcement that run left to right across the top and bottom with five clecos on top and bottom. Those were what I was missing.
