Brief Description:  Riveteing Center Fuselage

Primed center fuselage skin, and cleco'd it to the skeleton for riveting. Riveted all the skin rivets by myself, which got pretty tricky towards the middle of this large piece. Luckily, I have long arms. Cleco'd (and screwed) on the seat and baggage skins, and the side seat ribs after I fluted them to match the hole pattern. I had drawn the centerline on the bottom earlier. Lined them up with the lines, and left a small gap on the top flange so the seat skin won't rub against the side of the plane, and drilled them, clecoing as I went. Got both sides done. Removed side seat ribs and drilled holes for platenuts, then deburred and dimpled. Dimpled skin where side seat ribs go. Drilled other holes for platenuts through seat skin and seat ribs. Lots of little misc. details to be taken care of in this area. I'm wondering if I attach the forward 904 bulkhead with the permanant hardware, with exception of the wing bolts?
