Brief Description: Finished riveting VS
|
|
The VS is done, except for the farings. I'm going ot do all of the fiberglass work at one time, so this completes the VS for now. The frame and skin went bback together with little difficulty. Riveting everything together, that was another story. It was not near as easy as I thought it would be and took considerably longer as I redid rivets and scratched my head just trying to figure out how to set particular rivets. In the end, it turned out pretty well, but not perfect. There's a few ugly rivets, but based upon what I have read, they are serviceable. Also, had I not bought the tungsten bucking bar, I sure it would have turned out worse than it did--that thing was money definitely well spent, as was the pneumatic squeezer.
