Brief Description:  Riveting the Left Aft Top Skins (Part 1)

After returning from vacation and getting "re-adjusted" to work and the local time zone, I was able to find a good bucking partner to help with the left wing top skins. Many people buy special riveting/bucking tools which allow them to "back-rivet" these skins on. However, it still takes two people to do this. I was too cheap to spring for the back-riveting set and felt that my buddy and I could make rivets that look just as good. Well, I wasn't disappointed. Barry is a natural at bucking. He also is great at QC and checked every rivet with the guage as we went. Although we started slowly, we picked up speed and created some excellent quality rivets. There was only one rivet that needed to be drilled out and that was done in short order.
