Brief Description:  Continue Riveting Right Tank

Drilled and removed the bad rivets from last session with good results, holes are not elongated or oversize.

No help available today so I set up for solo riveting. Experimented with a couple of positions on the bench, but felt most comfortable with tank in the cradle. Was able to reach inside and hold bucking bar and control the gun well for all but the most forward two rivets. The tank frame blocked access to these and they will have to be done on the bench. Wet installed rivets up the center rib, using the same technique to keep tools and area as clean as possible. Then moved to rib on either side and riveted these as well.
