Forward top skin
Once I was on a roll, I had my friend Curt (RV-4 guy) come over Sunday evening and we closed out the front top skin. 3 hours later we were done! Not the most fun riveting on the project, but hey it had to be done. Access is quite limited in most locations along the longarons.

Yes I used CherryMax pop rivets to close out the gear towers along the longarons. Can't really see any other way as I have already put too much stuff into the gear towers at this point. They look way nicer than I though when I considered using "pop rivets" for this visible location.
