Finished the first half of this section today. It seemed like so many steps and parts that I didn't want to try to remember all the pieces while I processed them. Now that I've spent time on it every piece is recognizable and each piece has it's proper place. Didn't run into any issues other than I used AN426-4-4 rivets where there were two sheets and a nut plate. It made for a proper shop head. I also used 4-4 pull rivets on the AP doubler where it connects through the rib to the seat belt crotch bracket. I'm sure that most of the planes built used the rivets called out. It's not clear why there's a few places where the rivets aren't the proper length. The plans mentions this and states they will work.

| All the little pieces that needed to be in the correct spot seem so simple now. |

| This area will always be visible in the plane. |
