After fitting all the pieces, I did a double check of the whole fuselage to make sure everything was level, square and plumb.  Then it was time to let the bolting and riveting begin.  These pictures show the start of the process. All the bolts between the splice plates from the aft fuselage to the forward fuselage are installed as well as the rivets joining the left and right side panels.
