Brief Description:  Fuselage - replaced most clecos with final rivets

Finally - a big day. I'm starting to see the light at the end of the fuselage section of the manual set. Was able to remove most of the clecos and replace with rivets. As an update, I did decide to "tab" the areas of the skin overlaps where the approach angles were enough to make the skin pucker on the rivet line. I like the looks and the comfort that the rivets are carrying the load like they should. The issue I caused are tiny holes at some of the tab cuts. I'll have to solve or at least address the issue once I see how many the wing fairing covers (or, better yet, doesn't cover.

Also, installed the seat components and set the back and back rest in place for the requisite picture.
