I had driven all but a few of the rivets in each of the ribs (the ones closest to the leading edge), and the end ribs.  So it was time to get those done.  I also spent a hour or two applying sealant to the shop heads of nearly all the rivets in the ribs.  The fuel level sender was much easier this time, as I’d already done it once.  Just a little bending of the vent line to do, and everything should be in place.
