I have been going kind of slow for the past few days because I have been trying to decide what to do about the landing light, pitot tube and conduit. I went to Home Depot and bought their conduit but found I could not fit it in the 3/4" hole that Van's recommends as the maximum. I went ahead and ordered the conduit from Van's. They say the their .8" conduit will snap into place into a 3/4 hole. I hope.

Tonight I alodined the ribs and dried them really good with compressed air. I then primed them with Akzo, let them dry and then assembed the whole thing again. This time is for keeps. Tomorrow I am going to go over everything carefully to make sure I don't rivet holes that need to stay open.
