Brief Description:  Leading Edge - Right LE / Tank skin gap 2

I put in the shims, and rivetted them in place with the little NAS rivets. Skin alignment is better. After another check I removed and added two more shims top and bottom. I now have 6 shims on top and 4 on the bottom. Red stuff is blood from holding the shim while I driled hole through it. This shimming process took a lot of tools used at once. Drilling, snipping, filing, cutting, rivetting, screwing, clecoing. This was not really fun, because shimming seems like a cover up process.
