I fixed some rivets that had 'smilies' on them from the cupped rivet set jumping on the shop head. I drilled them out and installed new rivets. these ones will be visible so although they were probably acceptable, it is good to have them looking better.
Then I fitted the VS skin to the structure and began riveting from the centre of the front spar to the tip on each side. I got a good sized piece of steel for a bucking bar and it worked a treat for most of these rivets. I had to swap to my small tungsten bucking bar for the rivets near the tip. I'm pretty happy with how the finish is so far.
