After a ton of setup work, It feels good to actually do some assembly work. I started by priming the F-768B Subpanels, F-745 Ribs, and a few smaller pieces.

I riveted the F-768C Seals to the sub panel bulkheads. 

I also got the nutplates installed in the ribs. 


I riveted the sub panel bulkheads to the ribs. Unfortunately, I accidentally riveted down the full length of the flange. You are only supposed to installed the upper 2 flush rivets. The remaining domed rivets get installed later. After realizing my mistake, I drilled out the rivets.
