Since it's still Friday and I was able to finish what I wanted to on my airplane today, here is todays progress. I finished dimpling, countersinking and deburring the firewall last night. I had to prime and rivet it today but only after I finally inventoried the fuselage kit........whick took 3.5 hours!! Anyway, the firewall is done with flush rivets on the forward side, made for a clean firewall. In this pic you can see in the lower left the brake line pass through. In the lower right center corner of the firewall is a backing plate, with nutplates forward, for mounting of the electrical fuel pump. The center section comes with the wing, as it is match drilled to the spars at a mate. I was able to finish riveting on nutplates, brackets and uprights today and couldn't resist bolting on the control stick assembly.........that is in the plans at this point, it is just a little furthur than I had planned on making it today.
