| Cooling chute cover panels. These get riveted in and form part of the structure. | Top wing skins riveted on. My wife Marg handled the rivet guns (modified from cheap air hammers) and I manipulated various custom made bucking bars. She did a perfect job. I screwed up a few and we had to re-do them. | Wing in the jig showing the outer rib and the top skin riveted on. | ||||||||||||||||
