-Cleco'd the fwd top skin and associated baggage door supports to the fuselage. -Cleco'd the hinge support for the baggage door and it's spacer to the fwd top skin and the firewall and fwd baggage bulkhead. Due to my modification to added access to the back of the instrument panel the hinge support needed to be modified. I reversed the attach flange from facing down to facing up and that turned out to be a simple solution vs notching out the access door, which I was planning to do. -Match drilled the hinge support to the fwd bagg bulkhead. -Final drilled #40 all of the rivet holes that are common to the fwd top skin, the instrument panel, fwd baggage bulkhead, firewall, and hinge support. -Separated the F8104 fwd skin support ribs on the bandsaw -Deburred the same on the 3M wheel -Marked a center line on the undrilled flange that will be match drilled to the fwd top skin -Placed them in position and match drilled using the fwd skin as the guide per the plans
I need to do a little more research on my windshield modification before preceeding.
Fwd top skin cleco'd and match drilled in place
Not the fwd skin support ribs that tie the windshiled weldment to the fwd top skins
Looking at the slope of the modified windshield in relation to the baggage door.
