Finished up all of the random steps I couldn't previously do because of the missing parts from my order (but hooray, I have them all now). Today I finished up the machine countersinking of the rear spar, some drilling of the VS-1002's doubler, and a bit more machine countersinking there.

I also finished fabricating my VS-1006 doubler (essentially, I made a hole in case I ever need to get wires, etc. in through the top of the VS; dropped in a couple of K-1000-3 nutplates on either side of the hole for good measure as well. I'll snag pictures of that and post in the future, but it's largely derivative work from another builder (my part has the distinction of having a less-aligned-layout).

With all that done, the VS parts are all ready for priming - since I'm doing an epoxy primer, I haven't dimpled anything (I'll do that after priming - I understand that is an easier method to spray vs. dealing with the elevation changes of dimples.
