Antenna Doublers Fabricated and Ready for Riveting

It took way longer than I expected to make two doublers but I wanted these things to be super accurate looking. This then took alot of time measuring and drawing lines for every single rivet hole. The drill press made fairly quick work of getting the holes in the first one. I then used the first one as a template for the second and drilled through it into the second doubler. It worked out pretty well I feel! I had my son help me with the dimpling since I had to use the close quarters dimpler, but he is off at work now so I couldn’t rivet them on today. I’ll get them first thing tomorrow morning and then I can run the coax into that area and I will be good to seal up this area. I can always come back after the fact and add the access holes into the floor.

Some other work that I accomplished was getting the rest of the dimpling/countersinking done and I primed the parts for the rear baggage area. BTW: I had this praying mantis as a companion while I was working LOL
