Left Wing Nose Ribs Attached to Spar

We're back from our honeymoon, and I managed to find 5 hours today to remake a nose rib that had some flaws and drill and rivet all ribs to the spar.  Pretty much the same process as before, but here are some pics.  See the right wing posts for more detail.

Me drilling out the holes to mount the ribs.


Ribs mounted to the spar.


Poly tube in place for future wingtip wire if I choose to add tip lights.


Me and the "old ball and chain" in Sonoma (Don't get nervous, she knows my sense of humor).  Highly recommend a trip if you haven't been.


Next step is to bend and drill the leading edge skin.
