Brief Description:  Forward fuselage construction

More preparation for riveting the forward fuselage. I started by attaching nutplates to several of the ribs in the mid-fuselage area where the aft baggage skins will ultimately go. After finishing this, I clecoed the ribs in place and moved forward to the F-7101 gear attach webs. These are pre-riveted to the F-902 ribs with AN470 rivets, so with a few adjustments to the Tatco to get in some odd positions, that task was done. I enlarged the fuel line entry holes and inserted the necessary grommet, then clecoed the assembly in place. I also countersunk the lower flange of the firewall and dimpled the stainless on both sides.
