Fuselage July 2006 Updates July 13, 2006 Riveting the Forward Fuse.... - 2.0 hrs Yippee! I got Rosie the Riveter to help me tonight. Kim came over and helped rivet. She bucked the forward sideskin with the new backrivet bucking bar I got from Avery. We started on the 704 bulkhead. We moved up the forward side and then on the rear side. Next we moved along the aux longeron and the 902 bulkhead. Between the heat and mosquitos we had to stop. It came out pretty good. I am looking forward to backriveting as much of these skins as possible as they come out more consistant.
