Brief Description:  Riveting side skins of fuselage

I began riveting the side skins to the rear and carry-through spars, the top rail, wing cap, forward cabin stringers, firewall and then finally the bottom wrap around for the left side.

If you look closely at pic #3 you can see black marker circles around four rivets. The tails of the rivets fractured at the end and left a 1/2" tail instead of being burried in the head. I inspected the shop heads and they appeared fine, so I ground the tails flush with the heads.

If I can figure out how to remove them without marring the skin, I'll do so, but I think they will otherwise be good.
