Started assembly of the left flap - 3 hours

I started in on riveting the left flap. took some time to figure out best how to rivet and fall into a groove. But in the end my thin tungsten bar was the best. I quickly figured out that if I taped up the one end it would allow the bucking bar to sit high up off the work and would allow me to ensure that it was sitting parallel with the skin in such a small tight space.

I managed to set the top side, only had to drill out the odd rivet.


I used MK-319-BS rivets in those areas that you just cant buck. I use electrical tape to help prevent scratches when pulling the rivets. It works great.
