Brief Description:  Made false floor to rivet top forward skin.

I brought some plywood from home to construct a false floor to be able to rivet from under the panels without breaking ones back. A Skil saw and some drywall screws made short order of this task.

Charlotte and I spent about three hours deciding what rivets to use to rivet the top forward skin. There are areas one can't reach with all those wires and intruments. We decided to use some blind rivets directly above the instrument panel because the Dynon EFIS boxes are in the way. We also had to drill out some of the QB rivets under the roll bar area. These will be replaced with some Cherry Max structural rivets.

I don't cherish the idea of being under the panels in this 95 degree weather, but it must be done
