Before beginning the reassembly of the forward fuselage, and as there is still good access to the rear fuselage, I decide to install the strobes power pack. It's not as easy as expected as the access to the pop rivets used is very difficult.



Before assembling the fuselage a few parts have to be assembled on the bench, for exemple the firewall gussets.



Also the main bulkhead sides have to be rivetd to the skins as the rivets will be impossible to set once the skin is on the fuselage.



Then all the parts are reassembled . I had some holes to redrill, some dimples that were forgotten and some priming to re-do. Here is the result, now all has to be riveted.
