Firewall assembly

With everything ready to go, I setup to rivet the firewall stiffeners and brackets. I squeezed most of the rivets along the bottom and side stiffeners, then back riveted the rest. This was kind of a slow process as I back riveted just a few (4-6) rivets at a time. It also took some jigging with 4×4 blocks. Two to support the firewall and one with the back rivet plate on it. I didn’t put any rivets in that will eventually secure the recess hole in the middle. There are certainly a bunch of little thinking parts inbetween. We’re now definately building from drawings and not so much from instructions. Firewall is done.
