Posted by Had a friend from work, Zack, come over for the 2-person-job of riveting the top skin. It went very well. We used a back-riveting technique with a big purpose-specific back rivet bucking bar on the skins and a long offset back riveting set on the inside. Only a few that I want to replace, mostly because of the shop heads being overdriven or crooked. I really appreciated the help, we made quick work of this big job! Just one row of rivets left, will have to use a different technique for that, as the angle required for the back rivet set did not work. Just a regular angled bucking bar and rivet mushroom head should work for those.
