Left Wing Main Spar

Tonight we started on the left wing.  You'll notice from the picture that the main spar is actually gold.  We decided that we wanted to fly in style so we chose the "gold upgrade". :-)  Seriously though, the spar is actually anodized (a chemical protection) so we don't have to prime it.  We only need to prime where we countersink. 
We match drilled the many many many platenuts that are used to install the fuel tank and then we countersunk all the rivet holes.  Finally we spot primed where we countersunk.  It doesn't seem like a lot of progress but it was a lot of work.
