I dimple the forward upper fuselage skin for the #8 screws and flush rivets. I then removed the blue vinyl film and deburred the edges. I then dimpled the panel support strips for attachment to the upper fuselage skin and the nutplates.
I then riveted the nutplates to the panel attach strips. Next I will attach the upper forward fuselage skin to the fuselage and cleco then rivet the panel attach strips to the aft edge of the upper fuselage skin.
After clecoing the panel attach strips to the forward fuselage skin I clecoed the panels in place to see how things are shaping up. Looks pretty good at this point.
