Brief Description:  Fwd Baggage Door #8

-Layed out the hole pattern for the new skin rivets that will attach it to the doubler.
-Drilled the holes fromt the previous step.
-Layed out the doubler reinforcement rib holes that attach it to the doubler and drilled
-Layed out the joggle for the baggage door - carefully...
-Cut it out with the dremel and then used the pneumatic belt sander to get it on the line and then blocked it out with 180 grit - turned out good IMHO.
-Cut thet baggage door aft rib to allow for the joggle.
-Layed out the new hole locations for it.
-Cut the doubler and fitted that runs under the baggage door hinge support
-Drilled holes in the baggage door for the new aft rib location
-Fabricated a stiffner that go across the baggge door below my new joggle and ties to the aft rib
-Trimmed the back of the baggage door for the joggle
-Layed out and drilled new holes for the understructure changes
-Layed out the new stiffner holes in the bagg door and drilled
I'm virtually done, just a little bit of fitment and I need to consult the plans and take the steps required for the hinge, latch, etc.
