Brief Description:  More Riveting on Side Skins

I cleco'd the arm rest reinforcements onto the armrests and riveted with the squeezer. Then I cleco'd the armrests into the fuselage.

Continued riveting the forward fuselage by riveting the F-719 forward stiffener with the gun and bucking bar. Started at the F-704 and went forward to the F-902 on left and right side. Then riveted the F-719s from the 902 forward to the firewall. Switched back to the F-713s and finished riveting them from the 902 to the firewall on both sides. Had one bad rivet on the right side, at the intersection of the 713 and 902. Clenched the rivet. Drilled and removed, then tried again with a different bucking bar, same result. Will look into replacing with a cherrymax rivet.

Removed plastic, scuffed and cleaned the area on the forward end of center section that will overlap with F-772 bottom skin. Primed with NAPA 7220.
