Today at work I used the flaring tool to get the vent line ready, and also complied with the SB for the pick up tube's safety wiring.
This evening, my dad came over to help me buck a few rivets for the nose reinforcement plates T-405/410. Then I had to make a run to Lowe's to get some more MEK so I could start fillet sealing the ribs, the T-405/410 plates and rivets, and clean up when done. I gotta say that I am getting tired of sealant at this point, and am looking forward to finishing these things up. You'll notice in a couple of pics that the sealant is a different color in places. The difference is only in color, and are the exact same thing. PR-1440 is gray, and PR-1422 is brown, but they are chemically identical.
One more night of ribs, and I should be just about ready to close this thing up! (Plus the vent line and senders...)
