Since last post, much has been done.
I started prepping parts including priming etc, for the next pages after riveting the bottom skins. This included trimming of upper and lower longerons.
Max helped me "flip" the fuselage to the other side to get to rivets and then bucked rivets - on Saturday I finished riveting the bottom of fuselage, then put fuselage back on a table.
Fabricated blocks and completed "twist" of upper longerons.
Fabricated hinge parts to form the cowling attach points on firewall.
Completed riveting of upper and lower longerons to motor mount fittings and doublers - then painted these pieces where they will be exposed in the cockpit.
Temporarily placed longerons in place (see photos below).
Attached side skins for fitting, match drilled upper & lower longerons, Drilled/fitted the cowl attach hinge halves to the firewall/side skins. Removed all these parts, deburred, dimpled, etc.
