My dad helped me to finished the very bottom row of side seat rib to side skin rivets. There are 4 smileies because of the overhang of the bottom skin. I only drilld out and reset a very bad one, the other three I will leave as is. These rivets are not visible anyway when wing is installed.Then I primed the center bottom skin on the area overlapping with fwd bottom skin. Riveted the two center floor stiffeners to fire wall and F704 bulkhead. The rivets to firewall can be easily squeezed. These to F704 are a little tough to set. I had to use offset rivet set, with the retaining spring removed to set the aft two rivets of the three. Over result is pretty good.
