I wanted to get the right tank up to where the left tank is because I feel like I got into a good rhythm last session and wanted to continue. I only got the first rib in tonight, but that leaves four interior ribs left which I should be able to get done fairly easily in two work sessions.

The new thing I did tonight was to use about two inches of a plastic straw to encapsulate the rivet shop heads rather than aluminum tubing. I didn't have to worry about cleaning it up, I could squeeze the straw to extrude some sealant when I needed it, and I was able to filet the edges nicely using it's flexibility and the squeeze action again.

That's six interior ribs done and four to go!
