Nov 20, 2023 5.0 33-4: Baggage floor redo Category: 33: Baggage Area
I had primed the new baggage floor last week so this weekend I temporarily installed them so that I could match drill the door frame pieces again. Then got out the DRDT2 and dimpled all the holes in the floors. Given how difficult it will be to dimple a few of the substructure holes along the edge of the baggage floors, I'm opting to leave them as LP4 instead of CS4s. They're covered up anyways. Alternatively, there are some rivets along the edges of access panels that are called as LPs that I have dimpled for CSs.

Got the old stiffeners backriveted into the new floors and installed the access plate hardware. Short a few -6 nut plates so ordered a few from spruce. Still can't install these floor until I see what the AC install looks like.

Weather was mid 60s and the sun was out. This could be my last chance to prime for a while. So I prepped the rear floor pans and the baggage door frame parts and baggage access panels. They did not come out well. Too cold and/or too humid. Not terrible, just poor surface. I will end up sanding them a bit and repainting.

11-24: installed the missing -6 nut plates.
