My dad and I just drove the last 20 rivets on the RV!!! Last airplanes he riveted on was repairing B-52's in the 60's.

Excellent!

Finally driving the last 20 rivets = "Very, very cool"
Driving them with your Dad.... "Priceless"

Congratulations Andy - You have done what few others have done in a lifetime - and you were able to share it with your Father... well done! :)
 
You lucky dawg!

Congratulations to you and your dad. That will forever be a special memory. You can look at that rivet and know your dad touched that spot.
Have fun flying!

Congrats to you and your Dad! And tell him thanks for those BUFF rivets too. They are still holding strong...
