I made a little bit of progress forward yesterday. I welded the wing attach bosses into the spar carry throughs. This was very time consuming because they have to be exactly the right distance apart (equal to the lower strut attach points), parrallel with each other, and perpendicular to the carry through tube. I haven't trimmed anything to length yet, or welded and caps on yet.

 

Here are some of the tubes in the jig I built.

Here they are after welding. I sprayed some "Zero Rust" paint on them to stop flash rust.

This is the new torch setup I got for this job.

Small steps, but it's fun.
