I was able to use the squeezer to rivet the frame together so it went together quickly. Next, you mount the skins in the fixtures and rivet several nose ribs in place. This was a major milestone for us as up to this point, I had done all the riveting by myself. Although I thought I could do a lot of the rivets by myself, like I did on the VS, I did not think I could do the nose ribs by myself. That meant Kathy was going to have to set her first rivets on the plane. She was very nervous but knew she was going to eventually start riveting. I was very confident she would do a great job, and she did. In the last picture the nose ribs are riveted in place.
