I thought I was done dimpling the tank skins but saw I didn't get the tank attach screw holes around the bases and outboard edge, so I went to dimple those for their screws and found that I never drilled those to final size. I grabbed my #19 drill bit and made quick work of all those holes, then deburred them all, and finally dimpled them all with my squeezer. Next up will be riveting the tank.

I just got a notification that my order from Van's finally shipped (originally placed the order on 21 August) and that should be here on 16 September. I ordered some miscellaneous things including some -6 width rivets to plug tooling holes in the outboard ribs, pre-made fuel pickups, float-style fuel level senders, tie-down rings, corrugated conduit, and most importantly, fuel tank sealant!

I'm not looking forward to working with the tank sealant, but I am looking forward to having the tanks done, so I guess I have no choice but to just dive in.
