After returning the skin to the top of the tailcone and clecoing it down. I fit the vertical stab attach rib and riveted it in place. I then riveted the forward center stringer, but left the forward 7" of holes open because I was unclear whether the earlier warning to leave holes 7" from the front applied or not. Easy enough to rivet them later.
Then I started riveted the top skin in place. I mostly finished the aft area before quitting for the afternoon.
I'm not unhappy with how the aft portion of the lap joint looks, but easily could have been much more aggressive in rolling the most aft foot and a half or so.
