I stopped at the hardware store on the way home and got a few more #10-32 screws for mounting the last of the Z-brackets. Tonight I mounted the rest of the Z-brackets and finished prepping the last of the Tank ribs and labeled them R/L 1-7 for each side. There were a couple that I did not flute for some reason when I was doing all of the other ribs, so I took care of that. I then got the L tank skin and baffle our and de-vinyled them. As other builders have descibed, I started putting the tank together by clecoing the nose of each rib to the skin without the cradle in place. Then I put the cradle on and finished each rib. It was hard work to get the clecos in. My hands were sore by the time I finished. I just barely got it all together and placed it on the wing when I had to go pick Claira up from her friends house. Then it was off to bed.
