> 4000 rivets pulled and ~ 8000 more to go!
Finished up the next third of the bottom skin.
These corner skins are a pain in the rear! Lots of massaging to get all the holes to align.
Next was like 28 nutplates for the floorboards that go under the knees. This is what you step on when entering the airplane.
Flipped the sled over and riveted these floor boards in.
Came up with this trick to prevent damage to the skins in these tight places... Using the angle tool to pull these along with this squeegee worked out great!
Oops, one more nutplate that gets installed with pulled rivets. Used a stick magnet to get them into position and a cleco to hold them. My fat fingers could not get to em from the holes in the ribs.
These two holes are left open for the future.
