The picture shows a special Averys tool for putting a slight crease along the edge of an aluminum sheet.  This helps the sheet to lay flat after riveting it.
















Leading edge clecoed together and ready to rivet.















But first, you need to install all of the main ribs and make sure all bolts and nuts line up in the appropriate holes.  If there is a problem, you dont want to have to drill out a bunch of rivets to fix it.

Orange goop on nut shows its been tightened to the proper torque.
















Leading edge riveting completed.  time 7.5 hrs
