Brief Description:  Seat Floors #19

Seems like I've been working on floorboards forever. I backriveted the F830C-1 stiffners to the left and right floorboards. THe plans call for this after they are (blind) riveted to the airplane, can't see how you can rivet the stiffners on then? Looks like slight error in the plans. I then riveted the #3 nutplate that capture the flap weldment bearing fwd bolt (remember I screw'd up and put a #8 nutplate in there and had to drill it out.) I then riveted the 8 nutplates that is on the crossbrace just under the front seat area. I planned to rivet the footwells together but noticed that I primed the wrong sides (was planning to prime the contact surfaces) - duh. I broke out the MEK and cleaned off the primer on the outer surfaces that everyone sees.
