End pieces pop-riveted into place

You'll notice that I didn't permanently attach the rod end bearings yet. I put them on temporarily and marked on the screw end piece where the jam nut will be when the rod end bearing get's it final tight-down. Why? Glad you asked. Becaaaaaaause..... you can't get the damn elevator pushrod inside the middle slot of the fuselage with the damn rod end bearings already installed on the damn elevator pushrod rod. OK, OK, I admit it I went ahead and installed the rod end bearings on the push and then noticed that you can't the rod inside the slot on the fuselage. It would have been nice if the instructions had a warning about this predicament ahead of time.
