Right elevator complete, wing main ribs straightened

Friday we guys snuck out to the garage after the ladies returned from propping up the local economy.
First we finished deburring & riveting the rolled leading edge of the right elevator.
Dad worked at the grinder on a couple 6" scraps of flat bar steel & 3/8" bar steel that I acquired for use as bucking bars. They need a little polishing, but we've already tried out one and it'll be a nice addition to the toolbox.
Meanwhile our lovely assistants helped strip the vinyl off of the right elevator and inspected our work.
 

Another finished part!! I also brought in the rib flange straightener and Dad worked on the wing main ribs while the rest of us were yakking after dinner.
 
Empennage: 2 hrs
 
Wings: 1 hr
