Riveted the F-728A vertical channel to the F-706 bulkhead

This was a little tricky getting to the rivets in and around this channel. I had to use my curved rivet set on the rivet gun to get some of the rivets, along with the bucking bar. Also, there are four 3/32 rivets at the bottom of the channel that get riveted to the outer bottom skin. I will need to get my bucking buddy Norwood over here for those dudes. While I was here I finished riveting the baggage compartment floor ribs to the F-706 bulkhead. The instructions don't say when to these guys, so I just did them.
