Larry check out some of the aircraft suppliers. I've seen them there a long time ago.

Thank you so much for choosing me for the MSOTM .

That means a lot to me for sure .

Lets face it , i could never ever build stuff like this without allmetalshaping .

All that wonderful people that are willing to share there knowlege made it possible . Thank you !

Regarding the rivet spacer . . .


A frequent mistake made by the inexperienced is to drill through the spacer to create the holes.


This will quickly "wallow out" the locating holes and destroy the accuracy of the tool.


Consider using a transfer punch, or a Whitney #5 Jr. with the point ground off (to insure concentricity - otherwise you'll be worse off than if you drilled through).


I've never done it, but was too late to catch someone who did.

Wow! Fantastic work! Inspirational is an understatement. Very cool build.

Congrats on MSOTM!
