Manual Reference: SNX-F19
Brief Description: Riveted Internals

Did all the hard riveting tonight - the inside of the aft fuselage. Riveted all formers to lower vertical channels as well as the upper splice channel. This was a real bear due to the heat / humidity / cramped spaces. Had to drill out and replace about 8 rivets because they failed the fingernail test. All that's remaining is to rivet the outside formers and upper longerons and then it's on to the forward fuse.
