Brief Description:  Dimpling

Spent most the day dimpling the ribs, top skins, and J box stiffeners. I received a new tool in the mail shown in photo 2. The pneumatic squeezer really sped things up quite a bit in regards to dimpling. I will say the "Main Squeeze" is an order of magnitude reduced effort from the eceonomy hand squeezer (much easier) and the pneumatic squeezer is an order of magnitude faster than a hand squeezer. I am going to be quite happy moving forward with both the main squeeze and the pneumatic squeezer even if it did cost me a pretty penny.

I aslo riveted the rear spars and installed the Service Bulliten change as seen in image 3. Had trouble with the rivets on the right bending over, so I reduced the length from the instructions 4-8 down to 4-7. It is a bit flat, but better than bent.
