Brief Description:  Fwd Fuselage - Dissmble & Prep 16 Side Skin

Time to remove the right side skin. Wow I can feel I'm getting closer to riveting this whole thing back together. I'm even thinking about fuselage rotisserie tools already.

Anyway first thing I prepared with the side skin is the F-704 H center section. It has some 3/32 holes that get countersunk. I didn't dimple because this is 0.062 thick. I stop dimpling at 0.040 thickness. I did find one hole that some how got drilled to 1/8 instead of a 3/32. So I dimpled it for a #40 and will use a NAS 1097 opps rivet later. That will fill the #30 hole and look the same as a #40 rivet on the flush head side.
