Rear spar with 4 of 5 brackets clecoed (this is the only pic I currently have of the rear-spar - it is currently riveted and sitting awaiting assembly with the ribs, stringers, etc.):
Match-drilling spar caps to front spar - crap there are a lot of holes that Vans didn't drill (somewhere around 180-200, just for 2 spar caps):
Riveted spar caps and doubler to front spar:
Other side:
Closeup:
That was a LOT of holes, deburring and rivets!
Another couple close-ups of the doubler (front spar):

Remember, the Emp kit is closer to 100% build (all the drilling ) than 51% and the project becomes less tedious, but more mental. You will morph from a mechanic to an engineer, craftman, psychologist (wife,do not forget her or she will own it).
Nice blog.
