Brief Description:  Engine Pylon Skins

Three final sessions finally got the Engine Pylon skins fully installed. Josh helped me out here and was game to bang those steel rivets in by hand (while I did maintenance finally on my air rivet gun). But he hasn't been back to the hangar since... too much of a good thing I guess.
Once I had both side skins cleco'd in place I tried to do a nice job placing the screws for the inspection hatch and coverup my earlier mistake of riveting the whole co-pilot side skin to the top edge angle piece. Somehow I think screws are not the right fasteners to use here and that some sort of bolt & nut arrangement would be better lasting (Derrick on this site did a very professional looking job of this).
