Finally got the side panels riveted to the lower skin and bulkheads. We turned the assembly on its side which made access a lot easier. I was going to back-rivet but we decided to buck all the rivets as I wasn’t happy with the consistency of the rivets when we back-riveted the stiffeners. Before riveting, even though I had broken the edges, it looked like it might be hard to get a good overlap but the skins pulled together nicely.
