Fuselage August 2005 Updates August 24, 2005 Aft Fuselage..... - 2.0 hrs Well its time to flip this thing and get ready to complete these rivets in the aft fuse. So I had to change the position of the saw horses and add some framework to hold the aft section upside down so as to get the right angles for riveting. I moved the aft section off of the saw horses and lowered them about 5 inches. Then I cut 2 2x4's to 48 inches. Installed these to the saw horses to get the correct spread to position the cross members to just behind the 707 bulkhead and just in front of the 710. As you can see the garage is getting really tight. Once I get this next stage done I can mount the center section and start using the stand I got from Jeff Bordelon.
