Riveted the nutplates onto the F-1005C-L/R bulkhead side channels and F-1063B-L/R idler arm brackets:

 Riveted the F-1005B rear spar attach  bars to the rear spar bulkhead.  Held the workpiece in the table vice, which allowed me to use the vice to level the bucking bar:

Made for fast work of the riveting and gave nice consistent results – just like squeezing:

 Riveted the F-1005E-L/R gussets to the F-005C-L/R bulkhead side channels:

 Bulkhead complete:

 Based on reading Tim Olson’s site, I decided to rivet the two nutplates on the top flange of the F-1034A bulkhead.  This isn’t called for at this point, but it was recommended to do it now when access is easy.  Looking ahead in the plans, I couldn’t see a reason why it could not be done now – hopefully it doesn’t cause any issues in upcoming construction:

I’m glad to make progress, but it all went together too fast – no parts left in this section.  Tons of time to prep all the parts, but hardly any time to put together – all these pieces are open with easy access for shooting rivets, so quick work getting through this section.  All the bulkheads ready to go:

Back to the monotony of drilling, deburring, and primer prep.  All the parts for the next section:
