				|  Finished deburring, dimpling and sanding the bottom outboard skin As I've said before "Datsa' lotta' holes!". This skin is ready to put away until needed.

				|  Started work on the inboard back wing skin Just as the top inboard skin, this skin is the same thickness as the fuel tank skin. Which means I have to get out the old C-Frame whackarama. I have a real love-hate relationship with this tool; I hate to use it and I love it when I'm through using it. Here I'm whackin' the dimples into the skin. The skin is held up with some 4 inch thick pieces of foam which are the same height as the female dimple in the C-Frame tool.

				|  Allrighty! It's all dimpled and sanded As with the thick top inboard skin, I went back over some the dimples that looked like they were cratered in around the dimple and straightened them out with the pop-rivet dimpler. On to the "J" stringers!
