The riveting is going pretty well now.  Cutting out the “foam” ribs was much easier than I thought it was going to be.  The band saw helped tremendously!  The other concern I had, had to do with the nut plates.  I’ve seen it mentioned that some have cut portions of their dimple die sets to allow for the nut plate holes to be dimpled properly.  I did not bother.  The nut plates appear to have turned out just fine… and I didn’t have to alter my dimple die :-)
