Woo Hoo! You guys are the bomb. Addy on its way via PM.
Dad is over here for this we and we are tag teaming the fuse full time. We are kicking butt! In two days just about all of the rear bulkheads are fabbed and I'm almost done with the spar carry through. Firewall parts are all ready for priming, WooHooo....

Spike,
I would recommend considering the advice of Mike Bullock and myself in regard to painting the firewall stiffeners with your final interior topcoat BEFORE riveting them to the firewall. It's a pain, and time consuming to mask it off later on after it's done. Much easier to paint those parts now, and then rivet it together. It's never too early to choose an interior color and start painting. Here's a link to Mike's entry:

Here's my masking and taping work before I was able to topcoat them. I wish I had painted them first:
Here's the finished job. Turned out okay, but took a lot more time:
