Brief Description:  Top Skin Fitting, Fwd Baggage Door Prep

Spent time re-aligning the top skin F822-PP so that the pre-drilled holes in the aft edge align with the instrument panel attach flange. There's still a small issue at the front of the skin, left to right alignment, to address. Since I don't have the baggage door supports yet, not too worried at this point.

Proceeded with assemblying the parts for the fwd baggage door. The inside skin, F873D-1 is shown, and unfortunately the blue plastic protective covering, is unwilling to come off the exterior side of the interior skin. This is the first part where the blue stuff will not let go... tried using a heat source to help, and it did help to a point, but the remaining is VERY stubborn. Probably leave the part out in the full sun tomorrow to see if I can encourage some more of the stuff to come off.

Any ideas out there yall let me know...

The baggage door supports should arrive tomorrow, so I'l proceed with the fitting of the top skin to the fuse.
