Brief Description:  Aft skin & Rear window

Dimpled the two 'extra' holes for #8 C/S screws to pull down the section of aft skin to the rear window. Although I ran a roller along the edge, it didn't even out two spots adjacent to the C/S holes ... need to adjust.

Otherwise the skin appears ready to rivet in place, finalizing the aft fuselage assembly structures.

In preparation, scuffed the paint on the rollbar which was pulled off by leaving tape on for several months. Degreased, primed the bare metal areas and then applied Krylon 'light gray'. Primed all the backing strips for the window rivets.

Remade the spacer required at the joint of the aft brace, bulkhead, and aft structure. The spacer reinforces the FIVE AN4 rivets that penetrate ALL layers, and prevents it from compressing the joint.Made it from scrap of old instrument panel (0.063 v 0.032), thicker than plans.
