Canopy skin riveting

I started riveting the canopy skin to the frame, starting at the middle of the front row. The access wasn’t good for a squeezer, so I bucked everything along the front row and the diagonal side rows. There are a couple of really tricky rivets that will need some help from Julie. I can’t seem to get any of my bucking bars to fit well, making them difficult to do solo. I also pulled the CS4-4 pop rivets along the back row. I left the 3 holes on each side for later, because they need to be shimmed.

I did about 2/3 of the skin/frame rivets–mostly the ones that need bucking. I think the rest can be squeezed.
