Finished riveting the leading edge to the main spar

I was able to rivet all of the ribs in but one. I put a question out on the email groups about putting in pop rivets on the unreachable rib. It's seems that on the RV-7/7A wing that pop-riveting the center rib is an OK thing to do, so I did it on my RV-9A center rib. To finish up, I used my no-hole yoke on my hand squeezer to rivet the skin to the main spar.
