Left wing bottom skins

Attached the doubler with the called out rivets. The BSPQ rivets had a high stem that I had to grind flush with a dremel. The LP4-3 rivets located over the spar were tricky as there was not enough space for the rivet to fully seat before compressing. I ended up using a hand riveter carefully and pushing down to make sure the rivet would seat flush against the skin. A few of them I had to do more than once to get flush.

Clecoed and riveted the bottom skins with the help of My father and T.  Did not get quite done as dinner was ready and we were having a little trouble with the riveter. A few rivets would get caught in the rivet gun and not come out. 

Time: 3 hrs.
