Visited brians Cozy MK IV project today

One more day of riveting top skins

I was able to get my Dad to come out west to help rivet wings.

Work comes to standstill

I have come to a point where I can't do a job without the help of
someone. 2000 rivets is apparently too daunting of a task for any
helpers I have asked.
