Brief Description:  Prepped the VS for final Assembly

I got up before the chickens this morning and started working on the VS. I was able to prep the ribs (deburred the edges and fluted), re-assemble the substructure and match drill everything including the skin. Next I deburred the skin, dimpled the substructure and skin ... and I as able to prime all the parts! Michael Stephen is coming over today and will give me his impression of my work so far, so I am anxious to hear from him whether or not I have changes to make.

Michael came by and inspected my work. We talked a lot and he finished by saying that everything looked good and he said - keep it up!

Then after he left, I went back to work... I had a minor mistake with the DRDT-2 dimpler...cutting into the side of the hole slightly...but it will be ok.
