Painted the rails, and riveted the rail and canopy deck together. This has to be done first, otherwise, after deck and rail are riveted to longeron, I just don't see how to rivet the two at the tab because of the very limited space.I also decided to rivet the aft deck. I can squeez most of the rivets, but there are a few I have to shoot, and I have go by feel because there is no way I can see the buck bar when shooting the gun. I had to drill out one rivet, got the hole enlarged, then I used a longer rivet , set it and put this task behind me. Other than the one I go enlarged hole, all other rivets looked pretty good.
Torqued and sealed these two bolts
Aft deck is riveted
