Brief Description:  Main Skins - Clinched Rivets Issue 1

After I turned my wing over and placed them into the cradle I noticed this row of rivets that hold the main skin to the main spar flange are clinched. They looked okay when I back rivetted them, but I can see now, I must of been holding the long back rivet set at an angle and I shoved these rivets over rather than squashing them nicely. I'm trying to correct some of them with a bucking bar and forward riveting. I may end up drilling them out. Stand by for that.
