Brief Description:  Riveting the ribs to the foreward spar.

I won't go into details again, but just say I'm getting better at rivet removal finally - and putting them in too of course!
Lesson today - when riveting, pay close attention to both sidies of the rivet while using the rivet gun. Don't just focus on the shop end, watch both sides!
I got the tricky ribs mounted. These ar the infamous HS-405 and HS-407 ribs that need that notch and new holes drilled that everyone has lots of questions about.
After those and other spar rivets were done, I took it to the paint booth and re-touched the scraped off primer from spots I scraped off with the bucking bar.
