Finished riveting the bottom skins

Final short session of riveting the bottom skins.
Today I finished riveting the bottom skin.
Unfortunately, there is some medium oil canning happening in the middle section of the skin. Not sure if I can fix it in any way.
After finishing the skin, I attached the flaps using the alternative method—I removed three eyelets (two on the flap and one on the wing) so two pins can be inserted through the middle.
To hold the pin, I created a small holder using two eyelets.
Since flap braces were riveted already, and it wasn't easy to get to the rivets from the back, I installed the nutplate with the CCC-32 blind rivets.
The right flap on the right wing.
