Fuselage, FWD/MID Side Structure (Part 23)

Today, we started on the prep work for the Left Side Skin.  With the exception of the holes in the hatched areas, all the #30 and #40 holes were dimpled using a combination of the pneumatic squeezer and the DRDT-2.

Next, as shown in the plans excerpt, I put breaks in the four edges as indicated below.

Here is the Left Side Skin with all the completed work during this session.  The edge work is all that remains prior to being treated with Alumiprep, Alodine, and Akzo primer.
