Tailcone - Left Side Riveting

More riveting today.  I finished up with riveting the left side stringers and bulkheads.  For now, the instructions say to only rivet up to the top stringer so it's easier to fit the longeron under the skin later.  So those upper clecos at each bulkhead will stay in place for a while longer.  The only thing left to do on the left side is the row of rivets connecting the side skin to bottom skin.  I'll switch over to the right side next and just save all of the bottom for the end.  I'll cash in some spousal IOUs for some back riveting help with those.
