Today I cleaned, abraded, alodined and primed the area of the F-770 forward side skin where the step flanges are riveted on. I also primed the inside of the step tubes. On the left side due to the riveting in the area having been completed last Saturday I bolted the step inboard end onto the baggage area rib and clecoed the step flange to the F-770 forward side skin in preparation for riveting it on.
