Brief Description:  Dimpling the tank skins

Finished the dimpling of the topside right wing fuel tank. Redimpled the Screws section that will hold the tank to the wing as the squeezers did not give a defined dimple and the hammer C avery dimpler worked better to give a much nicer look. Instructions had that buried deep.

Need to completed the match drilling of the bottom side and ensure that the deburring tool is used, this will ensure a better fit for the rivet and make a better chance of having a sound tank when done. More tomorrow I hope. No pics today

Completed dimpling the lower skin and the stiffeners, and ribs, this took over two hours and I had a pneumatic squeezer too. The skin was dimpled using a C frame dimpler and a hammer, this made some very nice dimples, hopefully this will all contribute to a solid, sound leak proof tank.
