Fuselage, flap system underway

Baggage floors riveted, along with seatback hinges and baggage floor splice.

Right side baggage floor mostly riveted.

My riveting nest/perch for the left side baggage floor. About as comfortable as it looks, but it served the purpose.

Left side baggage floor mostly riveted.

Seat back guides screwed and riveted in place.

Fuel selector valve ready for installation.

Fuel system installed! Visible here (back to front) are: fuel lines, fuel selector valve, filter, and pump. What a bear; glad it’s done.

A view looking aft showing the fuel lines (and their brackets) going to bulkhead fittings in each wing root.

First time sitting more or less in the correct flying position. I’d just completed riveting the fuel line brackets to the cover ribs.

Various fuel system components ready for installation.
