Wing tie down bracket nutplates, Priming, and Riveting

 So today I got started by drilling the nutplate mounting holes in the tie down brackets.  I used my awesome nutplate jig to get this done!

 Then I countersunk the back of the brackets for the nutplate mount rivets.

 Finally I needed to do a small batch of priming so I can finish assembly of the spar parts and move on to ribs!

 All primed.

 Next I riveted the nutplates to the tie down brackets.  I used the squeezer for this task.

 And then used the gun and bucking bar to rivet the tie down brackets to the spars.

 One spar done.

 Next spar done.

 Then I started riveting the spar extension to the spar.
I used the gun and bucking bar for this task.


Done!
