Brief Description:  Riveting Top Fuselage Skin in place

We're ready to rivet the fuselage top skin in place. This took several sessions to get it all done, and it's a 2-man job.

We used two rivet techniques. As much as possible, we back-riveted the skins with me running the gun inside the fuselage and Houston holding the tungsten bar flat against the factory head outside.

For the rest of the rivets, my friend Rich Donnelly ran the rivet gun outside with a standard mushroom head, and I bucked from inside the fuselage with the tungsten bar.
