I took the opportunity to deepen the tank screw countersinks in the spar, as I now have the correct nutplate on there and can go the correct depth. I also squeezed the top rivet in each wing rib under the tank. It sits under the tank skin and only goes through the spar and the rib so I got those now with the squeezer.

Then, I dimpled the leading edge skins with the pneumatic squeezer around the edges where it would reach and the DRDT2 dimpler for the center of the skins.

Finally, I started on the scarf joints where the inboard and outboard skins overlap at the main spar.
