Snuck away from work a bit early to get some time in the shop on a weeknight. Shhhhhhh. Step 17 consists of adding side braces to the Pylons. Meh. Was cool that I got to use the Florida Pneumatic riveter I paid so dearly for. And even cooler that the little 1/8" rivets required me to adjust it with tighter jaws. What was less cool was that one of my rivets was stillborn [see pic]. So now I'll have the opportunity to learn about drilling-out and replaciing rivets.
I'm using these ratchet straps for EVERYTHING during this phase
Riveting the gusset in place
This one wouldn't pulll. Will need to be replaced.
