XP-82 Twin Mustang Project – June, 2014 Restoration Update.

Wings/Center Section
The crew completed the left-hand leading edge and finally riveted it to the forward spar of the left-hand wing.
The remainder of the top inboard skins are now finished through their structural high shear riveting (special collared steel rivets through the wing-attach angles and stringers). On both wings, the crew has three of the four top skins completed along with the two lower inboard skins at the attach angles.










Hydraulic, Instrumentation and Brake Lines
The majority of the lines running along both cockpit floors, and up behind and through each firewall are now finished. Reilly noted that it has been difficult to duplicate the exact routing for each line as most of them were removed in the early 1950s during the disassembly of the fuselage from the center section.
