I was looking around for something to do today and decided that I could do some more solo rivets on the fwd skin if I got a little creative.
I pulled out the G5 on the left side, and the top 3 rows of breakers on the right. I already had the auto pilot controller out, so I had a bit of room panel center as well.
By removing this stuff and getting creative with a couple of different bucking bars I was able to get everything down to the longerons from immediately fwd of the panel all the way fwd to the sub-panel bulkhead, which still has 5 rivets on each sides to be done. Other than that, it's just longeron rivets, which my brother in law is coming over to help with tomorrow.
re-installed the G5 and the breakers as well as a few switches along the top of the panel. I'll wring this all out tomorrow to make sure everything went back together properly.
