Fuselage center section #84 - Forward upper fuselage assembly!

Riveted the forward side skin angles.  Also sealed the firewall to the skins all the way around the perimeter. 


Installed these two clamps before riveting on the avionics deck as this would be much harder after it is in place.

Riveted these nutplates on these angles.  Forgot I was not priming anything forward of the firewall.

Riveted the canopy hinge spacers and nutplates.

Then these doublers were riveted.

Next the angle and the strut mount nutplate.


Then all the front turtledeck cover screw nutplates.

Next all these nutplates.

Then I riveted on these ribs/stiffeners.  Pay attention to the 3 different rivets in this area,
