again, exceptional work with those rivets, best I have seen in a long time. Looks like the standard has been set. Man I am going to have to practice a lot to get close to your workmanship.

Still no progress here, work is keeping me very busy and still trying to get the 51 ready. I ran into a major problem with that. When I was wet sanding the primer on the wing it left a lot of sanding sludge behind as you will be aware of from your work. anyway I though I will get the garder hose and wash it all off. Yes it washed it off alright but the water got inside the wing structure and caused swelling and distortin with major ripples on the sheeting apearing. As this is an old wing, approx 20+ years several ribs let go from the sheeting so had to cut little holes in the spar shear webbing so I could dribble CA through then clamp the surface down onto the ribs again. also had to cut a few small holes in the sheeting on top of the wing and do same thing. Got most of it fixed but there is still a noticable ripple present. Not sure if it will settle down or not but I can not get rid of it worst luck []

anyway nothing more I can do. Word of wisdom, dont wash your wing down!!
