Brief Description:  A few more rivets and ready to "roll"

So today I did a few more rivets on the aft end of the fuselage because I figured that I could reach to both sides of the rivets. It works pretty well until you get to the rivets on the fuselage curves - then it takes eyes on both sides.... so that's where I stopped riveting and will wait for by bucking partner.

In preparation for rolling the fuse over to rivet the bottom skins, I needed to remove the baggage bulkhead and pull out all of the tubing, especially the right tank tube so that I could re-cleco the center section.
