The back side (with all those new rivets) is done. The skins on this side are put back with clecos and this wing will be put away for a while (where in the hell am I going to put this thing). Later on it will be attached to the fuselage and the cables, wires, gas tanks, fuel lines, etc. will be installed. Looking back in the old log book, it's taken the better part of a year to get this far. At this rate...well never mind. I usually get a lot done in the winter, but with both boys home this winter, we did other things. Time to finish the ailerons, and flaps...then the other wing. Should be a little easier this time.

Look at all those magnificent rivets. They go on and on...forever. But they are good rivets. Mmmm...mmmm.

This old wing has been hanging here for too many weeks waiting for final riveting. Pat Wendt (on the right) has become a hot trigger man on the uzi...and as usual, I'm on the other side...out of my bucking mind.
