I fiddled with the pop rivet puller and got it working again. The internal mechanism is off center, and frequently sticks for this reason. I’ll replace it soon. With it temporarily working again, I was able to finish all the dimpling on both the skins and the skeleton. I need to prep the trim servo and then it will be final priming time. I’ve decided to prime one more time for the remaining trim tab areas.

Dimpled the skeleton except for the areas needed the close quarters dimple set… My pop rivet puller decided to stop working. It’s done this before. Time for a new one.

Went back to the garage and finished dimpling the skins save the areas needing close quarter dimple dies…

So my work bonus wasn’t as big as I had hoped, but that didn’t stop me from ordering the wings today!  The current wait time is about 8 weeks until they ship and another week or so for them to arrive.  FINALLY!
