Riveting center fuselage, day 1

Having brought all the primed center fuselage parts home with me, I was ready to start putting it together.

First I riveted the small rib access pieces.

Then I riveted nutplates on the seat belt brackets,…

…and the aileron trim bracket.

All the seat ribs needed nutplates on the forward part.

After dimpling all the ribs, I started riveting the seat belt brackets to the seat ribs.

I used my wise-grip dimpler to dimple the F-704 bulkhead lower flanges..

Now I could cleco the seat ribs to the F-704 bulkhead and rivet them.
