Ribs riveted into skin (Full size) I have not been keeping up the web log over the summer. I was working a half hour a day or so, and not taking many pictures. So this page will kind of summarize progress to date. This picture shows the tank ribs riveted into place. I am getting ready to finish the interior before putting on the baffle |
