Didn't have much time available today, so I just knocked out a couple of small things. Nothing really worthy of a picture.

Cut the majority of the threads off of the hardware store bolts that I had used in assembling the center section. Tomorrow I will grind down the remainder of the threaded end and burnish them to use as drift/rig pins for the initial wing mate, which will hopefully happen in about a week.

I also went ahead and installed nutplates on the F-7103C angles. As previously mentioned, I don't see how you can accurately locate the angles that attach the bottom corners of the panel to the fwd deck unless it's precisely located by being clecoed to the fwd skin, and that can't happen without these angles. I didn't have enough black clecos to pin this together through the holes for #8 screws, but a copper cleco with grab onto a #8 nut plate, so I installed the nutplates. That way I can have the panel in and out easily as I'm laying out the supporting brackets.
