Fuselage

Aft to Forward Fuselage riveting ( 3 hrs )

After countersinking 7 holes in each Lug, I primed then riveted bracket to main Lug per Steps 1-3 Sect 30-06.   Cleco'd into Aft Fuse and Bulkhead.   Started riveting with Nancy's assistance at top center Bulkhead and Shoulder Harness Lugs.   Combinations of 470 Universal Head and 426 Flush Head rivets kept us checking and re-checking drawings.   Had to remove one 470 so the correct 426 could be installed.  Oops.   Steps 6 & & done Sect 30-06.  Beautiful Spring weather stopped shop work - time a joy ride on my Harley !
