I etched, Alodined and primed both bottom skins. I let them dry for a while. Christine and I then moved the wing back onto the table and started riveting on the inside bottom skin.

It wasn't easy but I was able to buck the rivets by standing where the flap would be while Christine drove the rivets standing where the tank would be ( removed the aileron, flap and tank before this). The was doable but was still tough. To get to the rear spar rivets I had to use my long bucking bar since my fat hand couldn't get close enough with the small bucking bar.

Christine helped me with the rear rivets. I was able to do the ones about 1/2 way up to the front and those toward the middle of the wing by myself.

The bottom inside skin is done.
