Riveting the Fwd Fuselage Ribs to the Firewall - 1.5 hours

 Well, got news back from Van's that a new F-7105B-L sub panel is out of stock and is going to be approximately Sept 18th for it to ship. Totally understandable as Van's has lots of issues with their 3rd party suppliers laser cutting process. I imagine they parts stock is suffering everywhere.

Well, Looks like I will just have to build the front deck and fit the sub-panel later when it comes in. I started in by riveting the right F-7108 Fwd Fuselage Rib to the Firewall. It went very well and the rivets sent nicely.
