Rafael helped me rivet today and we got every rivet in the forward skin we could reach from the outside. This included most rivets except the firewall and the longerons. Tomorrow, Ed Booth is coming over to help with bucking the big rivets in the longerons and the last of the rivets in the ribs. He is a licensed A & P and has forgotten more about airplanes than I know about them. He also is a great riveter and an ambidextrous individual that can get inside the fuselage and rivet in places even a mole can’t get to!

OK, I actually bucked, but you have to show your face to the FAA
