Today we worked on the firewall. The first step was to disassemble the entire thing so that we could machine countersink all of the stiffners and prep all of the parts. I'll assume from now on that I don't have to talk about deburring (which took a lot of time). After the prep work we prepped and primed all of the parts (except the firewall itself which is stainless steel). We started assembling the firewall and managed to get most of it completed. Only the fuel pump doubler plate and a few rivets on the attach bracket remain.
