The following items were done over several days-
- Finished painting firewall doublers and battery boxes
- Opened up all holes on forward top skin for cherry max rivets
- I decided to add a anl fuse for the main VPX power feed so I made another doubler and drilled it to the firewall. I also made a copper bus bar to connect it.
- I started riveting the doublers to the firewall. I started with the fuse holder doubler for the alternators.
- I removed the forward top skin and support structure. I also located where I will mount the manifold pressure sensors for the electronic ignition.
