Riveting on Tail Cone Started

Just a short one tonight as my day job was keeping me away from the shop, but I at least started riveting the tail cone. I got as far as connecting the two bottom skins and seating the rivets in the left open holes on the corner skins, so they'll get riveted next.



For some reason it was easier to seat the rivets on the right corner skins. On the left side I had to carefully ream a lot of them wider to get the rivet in the hole. Maybe too much primer in the holes, maybe a tad of a misalignment that the clecos don't correct? I don't know...
