Brief Description:  Top right wing skin

Mark came over todat to help in the riveting of the right top skin. there were a few items to do first suchas putting a rivet in the top rib to spat hole that is covered by the tank. That ment removing the tank. While it was off, I filef the rear leading edge to tank skin edge to make for a better fit. Replace the tank and clecoed the inboard skin on the wing. We used a long back rivet set and bucking bar to install the skin. We squeezed the rear spar row and flush riveted the skin to main spar row. I opted to use the flush riveter due to the back riveter making less than desirable shop heads along the spar. Had to drill out several. once the skins were on the wing, we removed the wing from the stand and placed it on the woek taable. After mark left I began to install the aileron brackets.
