Title: Section 26 complete
It's done! There were SO MANY difficult rivets to finish here. Not only did I need to use the offset we had to go raid my Mentor's hangar for his bucking bar assortment. It took longer to do the ribs than to do the skins. But in the end, we got them all in and we finished the skins without a single dent. I ended the day doing a final touch up of some primer and then taped the rivet lines on the bottom with painters tape to protect the belly skins from scratches as I move forward with the next few sections. This piece is big and bulky and will be taking up a lot of table space. One tip about the seat belt attachments. They didn't fit easily through the slots so instead of overdriving the rivets that kept them from passing through, we just filed down a little but on the middle where they can pass. (See picture). Onto section 27 (Firewall) beginning tomorrow!
