Prepped Tailcone for Riveting

I did a little further trimming on the mousehole so that the tail skin also cleared the welds on either side of the tail spring mount.  I haven't decided if I'm going to paint the mount or have it powdercoated yet.  I'm going to call around tomorrow and see how much it would cost to have it powdercoated.



With my buddy Andre's help, I finished prepping all of the tailcone components for priming.  It's a bit late tonight to start the priming, but it should be fairly easy to knock it out in the next day or two.  Here is the bottom skin and all of the bulkheads behind it.



And here are the side skins.  The skins got a little scratched up inserting and removing the stringers, so I scuffed up the rivet lines and will prime those.
