Cranked through match drilling the longerons, match drilling the engine mount to skin in the stainless steel weldment. Was able to use a c-clamp to ensure the weldment didn't move and had the right edge distance on the upper weldments. On the lower weldments, i took a a squeeze clamp and flipped it around along with a small wood block to ensure outward pressure while match drilling into the weldment, with the other end of the clamp pushing against the firewall box. See photos below for visual explanation. Still have to match drill the lower #30 holes on the upper weldments and the upper and lower #30 holes on the lower weldments. Still need to match drill the #12 holes for the rudder pedal mounts. Took the skins off and once the remaining match drilling is complete, will begin the deburring, dimpling, and priming steps and then on to reassembly and riveting!
