Default RE: Sig Citabria Build

It's been awhile since I've posted anything, life caught up with me again.

I have a few new pictures. First, I fixed the rib that I cracked while sanding the wings. Second, I glued the wing halves to the center section. I thought that process went remarkably well. You'll notice that one of the pictures is a nod to the writer of another Citabria thread.

Now, I am in a bit of a dilemma. I'm trying to figure out how to translate the instructions for the next step. If I remember correctly, I was told to notch out the inboard wing ribs and glue the doubler in place. It looks like it is talking about the doubler in the front of the center section. However, I see no way of making a single notch. Instead, it seems that I would need to cut off the inboard ribs so that I can place the doubler behind them. I've included a picture to try to make my point. Please let me know if any of you have better ideas!
