I started installing the ribs on the right tank. I was able to get just a single rib done.
To get started, I fixtures everything in my leading edge cradle. I scoured the skin and rib with scotchbrite and cleaned the surfaces with acetone. ![]()
The riveting process is pretty messy, but it turned out pretty good. I’ll need to go back and reseal the shop heads. ![]()

I cleaned up the exterior of the skin with acetone. Everything looks good!
