I'm working on my first fuel tank and I'm having trouble getting the skin to fit
to the ribs.  It's like the skin was bent at too small a radius at the leading
edge.  I have the ribs cleco'ed to the top side of the tank skin, but I cannot
get even CLOSE to getting the holes on the other side to align.  I had some
difficulty with the same phase of the outboard leading edges, but nothing like
this tank skin.  

So, the question is:  Is there a trick I'm missing?
