6 hours: Today I drove all the internal rivets on the left HS, probably about 150 in all. Once I was done riveting the main spar, the ribs were lining up much better, and I didn't have any problem with leaning rivets due to misalignment. I have about 5 rivets I want to drill out, and then the end ribs can be squeezed.
The rivets along the spar come out so nice and consistent because you can rest the bucking bar on the spar itself. I'm still using the side of the standard 2-pound bar.
