Brief Description:  Disassembly and re-assemgly of top skin

Disassembled the top skin from the fuse, removing all clecos.
Re-attached the top skin clamping the left and right side top skins to the firewall to ensure alignment.
Aligned the pre-punched holes in the instrument panel attach flage to the pre-punched holes in the top skin. There are no pre-punched holes in the baggage bulkhead or firewall.
Installed the baggage door support strips on the left and right side of the baggage door opening, between the top skin and the baggage bulkhead, and the top skin and firewall.
There are pre-punched holes in the baggage door support strips, so aligned the pre-punched holes in the top skin with the pre-punched holes in the support strips.
Used side clamp clecos to allign the forward baggage door support strip with the pre-punched holes in the top skin.
With the top skin being as perfectly aligned as I can get, begin final drilling all holes to #40 in the top skin, that are in common with the instrument panel attach flange, and baggage bulkhead, working from the center, down to the left and right sides.
Completed the instrument panel attach flange and baggage bulkhead, and partially completed the firewall.
