Brief Description:  Rivet F-820-L/R-1 Forward side skins

I am not exactly sure how long this part took me, but I know that for today, I worked 3.0 hours, so I just split it half and half. I went ahead and started riveting the keeper rivets in the upper longeron and finished up with one side of the gear tower rivets on the left side. One word of caution - the keeper rivets on the left side - the callouts are incorrect on some of them. You will know which ones, as some rivets have more layers than others - like the aft most keeper goes thru an extra gusset but the callout is for the same size. Just be aware.

Also, some of the keeper rivets are a two-person job, like the ones in the gear box...I'll have to wait on those.
