Thanks Acdii and cmy6.

The wing was sheeted and then glassed before applying Klass Kote epoxy paint. The aft section of the fuselage was covered with Solartex then painted. The forward section of the fuse was also sheeted and glassed. The many thousands of rivet heads were hand punched using aluminum soda cans and lithoplate that a good friend supplied me with. Each rivet was attached to its surface using the tip of a soldering iron.
