Brief Description:  Dimple and C'snk for upper skin

Since I am at a stalemate for putting on the upper Skybolt flanges, I drew my attention to the need to dimple and countersink all the matchdrilled holes that are in the firewall and baggage compartment F-821B strips along with the instrument panel.

So I started by dimpling the bulkheads. I am glad I surveyed the area to get these done because as the avionics get put in it will get a lot more cramped inside. So I got all bulkheads complete and then turned my attention to the countersinking I needed to do on the side holes.

Glad I got that done. Of course it will be a bit cramped when I have to rivet the top skin on...but with the large holes for the instrument panel and the avionics access door I have in the back it shouldn't be too bad if I get a good riveting partner!
