Brief Description:  More VS skeleton work

I started out today by deburring the front VS spar. Then I used fuel tank dimple dies to dimple the holes in the understructure that will be riveted to the VS-801 skin being careful not to dimple the six holes on each side of the lower VS ribs that will be left open for attaching the empennage fairing later in the build. The tank dimple dies make a slightly deeper dimple in the understructure so the regular dimples in the skin will sit more flush during final assembly. It should also be noted that before I dimpled a part I scuffed over the holes with a maroon scotch brite pad in preparation for priming later. I just think it would be easier to do it now rather than after the dimples are made.
