3.0 hrs, 48 rivets
Started by cleaning the last two inboard ribs. Then riveted them in. Took just a bit longer today, but I finally felt like it was done right. And that's all of the hard parts. The outboard ribs can be squeezed. The nose reinforcement plates and attach bracket have to be bucked, but that's easy compared to bucking ribs.



Tomorrow is a 3R9 work day, then more tank construction. Should be done with the tank this weekend.
