Well....I went ahead and did a thing.
Looking forward to reading about your progress, when you finally get parts!

What's a she shed? I might need one!!
Hi Brian,
You will be pulling rivets very soon!!!
You mentioned you have your primer on order. Assuming this is for the inside; would you describe the process you are using and the brand names? The paint/protective coating industry has changed and I'm trying to get up to speed as to what is currently best practice.
Thanks!
I just noticed your last post.
Without the spinner rear bulkhead in place what would you fit the cowel to?
Started working on the VS rear spar prep. Gonna do all the work less rivets for the entire VS so I can prime everything in one go.
2.5 hours later and I have the rear spar all drilled and ready to deburr as well as the hinge assemblies ready to prime. Felt weird getting back in the rhythm but once I did, I made some good progress!
All the deets are in my blog.
Thanks for the detailed blog Brian! I'm a first time builder and had to shelve the project last fall to remodel my shop. Just dug it back out yesterday and am working on the VS spar as well. I appreciate the detailed photos!

At OSH?
Marking a weird amount of material to remove from the top end of the bottom spar cap strips. Have no idea why they leave this to the builder.
This material is left because the press brake couldn't form the last bit of the spar otherwise.
A better question is "why remove it in the first place?"
I figure this is maybe 2 grams per side.
