Deburred all of the holes and sprayed the trimmed edge of the nose ribs with rattle can primer. I then riveted them all in. Between the alligator squeezer and C yoke squeezer I was able to squeeze all but 1 rivet (where the strut attach bar sits). I prefer squeezing over trying to use the offset bit in the gun, especially solo. You can’t use a straight bit because the gun will hit the adjacent attach angle. Nothing really of note during the process, I think I upsized 2 rivets to -4 because when I drilled I must have wobbled and didn’t end of with a clean hole. Took less than 2 hours.
looking like a wing again. This part is fun, serious visual progress.
