Brief Description:  Rear baggage Comp Mod #3

Contineud to work on the rear baggage mod.
-Did more trimming to improve the fitment.
-Deburred the edges of the shelf
-Layed out the stiffners (3) and cut to length.
-Drilled the rivet holes to attach the front angle to the F807 bulkhead (this will support the forward edge of the shelf) (see pic #1)
-Deburred the holes from the previous step
-Layed out the rivet holes in the stiffners
-Drilled them and deburred
-Match drilled the rivet holes in the stiffners to the floor of the baggage shelf
-Deburred those holes
-Layed out and drilled the screw holes (6) that attach the shelf to the middle longerons
-Deburred those holes
-Drilled the longerons for nutplates and c/s (6)
-I started to dimple everything and remembered that I loaned out my DRDT-1 (rats). So I dimpled the ones I could reach with the squeezer and I'll have to bang the others in somehow. I might borrow my buddy Greg's C frame if I can't figure it out.
Also I primed all of the associated parts later in the day.
I still have about another hour of so to finish this mod, but I think it will be worth it. Just goes to show even the simplest of mods take time.
