Right wing done
I have gotten all of the bottom skins riveted in place. It was a real pain but I did it mostly by myself. My wife helped in one bay on the outer panel. The tank is back in place after I pulled it off to access the ribs on the inboard side. Since I have 4 ribs that point inward, I did not final rivet them into place. The ribs are about 5 inces apart so you have to rivet one at a time, then install the next one and so on. I learned this the hard way about 10 years ago. The riveting turned out nice except for some oil canning around the inspection cover. I had to add a stiffener to it to get it to not oil can with the cover on.
