Seen the pics of others, now I've done it!

Guess there is no hope of saving this--just need to order a replacement. The skeleton is all dimpled, but the skin is not (waiting on the DRDT-2). Question 1--do I assemble the skeleton and skin--then match drill the new rib? Question 2--do I need to wait unitl the skin is dimpled (since the underlying structure is dimpled) to assembe and match drill? And things were going so well tonight---my very last hole to dimple.

You should definitey drill before dimpling the skin.

Back in business!

Thanks for the JB weld suggestions, but just didn't think the extra hole overlapping into the drilled hole was going to work out. Got a new rib in 3 days, put everything back together and match drilled the new rib. Everything is now dimpled and ready to prime--except for the skin (still waiting on the DRDT-2). Lesson learned--when you pull the trigger on the squeezer, you're getting a dimple (or new hole) whether you want one or not!

I bet an "oops" rivet would work in that hole.
