Friday evening went into a lot of prep work for what appears to be my usual weekend happening these days: prepping and priming aluminum. So, I match drilled the piano hinges that will attach the ASTs later. BTW: When you're done drilling these and look at them you have this feeling as if you really goofed up. That is because some the holes do not align and look awkward to the eye after drilling the formerly masked holes through the skin flange. Don't worry! I got spooked by that and clecoed them to the skins as they will get riveted to the flanges later and they match perfectly.
The rest of the evening was spent deburring the skins on the edges and the outside holes (these were slightly sharp where the punch exited) and finally removing the outside vinyl along the rivet lines and the complete vinyl covering on the inside of the skins. This would get me ready to start prepping them in the early - if time wouldn't have run out. I finished one skin and left the other for the following day.
