Finally some real progress today. The upper fuselage/instrument panel is now attached. I was concerned about the fit of the upper fuselage over the instrument panel, there's quite a bit of stress around the upper skin where it meets the fuselage side skins. However it went on very nicely. We started the riveting process at the firewall and worked aft, this really seemed to help ensure that the seam stayed tight as we replaced each cleco with a rivet. Also, you can see the machined arches I made to support the upper instrument panel ribs that had to be cut to allow for the AFS EFISs. Attached also is the starting point for our instrument panel. I'll be adding the details on these arched support pieces to our web site soon.

Looks great. Nice panel selection.
I don't remember what order it comes in the plans, but you might wish you have put on the heater boxes and the scat tube connections inside the forward tunnel before attaching the panel area. For the rest of you out there, those scat tubes can be put on (and should be put on IMHO) very early in the process, just get your brake lines in first.
