Brief Description:  Final forward top fuselage skin preparation

It doesn't look like 5 hours of work, but it was. The fuselage frames had to be final riveted to the stringers under the F-774 skin and then skin had to be edge dressed, tapered and dimpled. Also, the skins needed to de-burring before the dimpling and there are a lot of holes. The gusset plate was tapered on the aft edge so the skins can transition over the top of the gusset plate with out creating a riser. The skin is now ready to be riveted in place, but I will wait until the aft fuselage wiring is done.
