On the plans for the VS it shows 6 holes on each side at the bottom of the skin that are to be left open. I did not dimple these holes on the skin but I did dimple them on the rib so I am sure one piece or the other is wrong. Did I screw up the rib or do I need t dimple the skin also?

Thanks.
 
No biggie - those are for the fairing attachments (I believe)
I forgot and dimpled / riveted all those holes on the HS and VS. Once I get to the fairing I'll either drill out some or put the platenuts in between the rivets.
When you do the fairing screws, etc you will have to drill them out bigger and probably dimple for the attach screws anyway (haven't looked that far ahead).

You can "undimple" a hole or two if you're careful - not ideal, but just use the flat sets in your squeezer and flatten it out. Doesn't sound like you need to do that

Fairing screws could be counter sunk, if you use nutplates, there are countersunk versions of those too, I'd just leave it for now and see what you need to do later.
