While waiting for Toni to come downstairs so we could start riveting, I cranked up the bandsaw and cut apart the fuel tank attach brackets, aka the zee brackets. Once Toni arrived we started riveting. Since I opted to back rivet, per the plans, we decided that I'd shoot with the extended offset backrivet set and she's buck. We started with the in-board skin first, beginning in the middle and working out in all directions from there. It went realitly well but there were a few rivets that need to be drilled out an re-shot. One hole got really butchered so I ended up putting a CSK'd screw in it as I didn't have a 426-5 rivet to fill the enlarged hole and didn't feel like ordering any. Had some trouble with the consistancy of the shop heads formed by the back rivet set. I don't know what the issue is, and the rivets are OK, but I get more uniform results with regular riveting.
