What sequence do you recommend for riveting on the turtle deck?
When I clecoed it on to drill it I had to do a few of the bulkhead holes at the very top working down before I could get the side holes to line up. I am thinking of starting in the middle on the sides then working forward and aft, then doing the bulkheads as some of the sides are done. My thought is the sides are the most rigid and the bullhead flanges will flex when riveted so I should not get any distortions.
Any suggestions would be appreciated, this will be my holiday weekend project.
Cheers
