I am dimpling the leading edge skins and can easily dimple the edge 

holes and about four holes into the skin with my DRDT-2 dimpling tool.  

The handle gets in the way of dimpling any further.  I would like to 

bend the skin flat but I guess I would then not have a leading edge 

skin.      How have others dimpled their leading edges and fuel tanks 

without ruining the preformed bend in the skin?

Can you reverse the dimple dies and have the skin go under the DRDT2?   Or use a pop rivet dimple.

I used my pop rivet dimple dies.

I just did mine last week with the DRDT-2, the only holes I wasn't able to do were the two stall warning holes on the right wing.   I did have to reverse the dies so that the skin bent down below the DRDT-2, and I needed a couple people to help support the skin while I maneuvered it around, but we knocked both skins out in under an hour on my lunch break.
