Brief Description:  Fuel tank prep

Riveted the 3 platenuts on the spar that hold the first tank bracket - hard to reach, but it allowed me to try out the new tungsten bucking bar I bought from http://www.buckingbar.net/ . It cost $120, but has considerably more weight than steel. Various users on Van's Air Force and Rivetbangers have loved them. It's size is perfect for hard to reach areas - I may not need to use the other bars from this point forward. Of note, the countersink cage could not fit and get the holes closest to the flange, so I used the Avery debur countersink tool and 'hand' cut the c/s. Next, I riveted the nutplates on the Z-brackets (pic 2). Primed them next. Also, my fuel tank stiffner replacements arrived (since I screwed up the first batch) - they were quickly cut, shaped, deburred (pic 2).
