• Riveting the nutplates on the forward baggage covers.

  

• Match drilling the baggage floors.

  

• Match drilled the F-724(?) covers.

  

• I don't remember what is going on in this picture.

  

• Drilling holes for conduit under the floor of the baggage compartment. Eventually I'll be routing static line, strobe wires and ELT control wire.

  

• I considering using these tubes for my wing conduit, however they are crap - too inflexible.

  

• Begin drilling the main landing gear holes.

  

• This could be bad. Both of the bottom firewall weldaments are cracked between the four bolts and the five rivets. I suspect the QB folks broke this weld on purpose to make it fit the angle of the bottom longeron. This picture shows the right weldament. Update: Van's says that seam is not intended to be welded - it is just cracked power coat - all is well.

  

• This picture shows the other bottom weldamnt, on the left of the firewall.

  

• An accidental extra picture.

  

• One more picture.
