Fuselage, MID Lower Structure (Part 1)

While I’m waiting to prime parts from Section 25, I decided to move on to Section 26 and begin preparing some parts.  Show below are the F-01425-R & -L Baggage Ribs (two on the top), F-01425A Rib Doublers (middle left), F-01423C Rib Doublers (middle right), and F-01423B-L & -R Outboard Baggage Ribs (on the bottom).  I cleaned the edges on the parts and deburred all the holes, except the two that still have the blue plastic on them.  Eventually, several of these parts will also get dimpled.

The first and second steps listed in the plans is to rivet the Doublers to the Ribs.  However, prior to doing that I want to Akzo prime the parts.  So, I will add them to the stack of parts from Section 25 and prime them all together.
