Main spar

Even with the C-frame on the concrete floor, the manufactured head did not set properly on the 1 inch rivets. The fastest way, by far, was to use a large and heavy and long bucking bar and the rivet gun on all rivets. With the long bar it was much easier to get the shop head straight compared with the small tungsten bar. The difficult part with this was to push hard enough on the rivet gun. Have to remember this the next time I make a main spar :-)
