Brief Description:  L Wing Skin Riveting-5

Got some help from my friend Richard (RV-7a builder) on some hard to reach rivets. After that I was able to make some good progress. Have 2 ribs and front & rear spar between them to go. To get the rivets along the front spar without contacting the rivets for the leading edge skin, I used a block of wood to lay across the spar. This gave a good reference for bucking the spar rivets. Out of all the rivets driven today, I have one that needs to be replaced. The rivets behind the conduit are difficult to get to bucking bar lined up squarely.
