Continued work on the canopy ribs.  Attached the remaining nutplates to the canopy ribs.  Nutplates were then attached to the panel base.  For now I am planning on installing the Garmin G3X so some of the nutplates weren't installed as per plans. I then riveted the engine mount brackets to the panel base. 
Skipping ahead a few pages, I started working on the map box.  The parts were clecoed together for match drilling.  The panel was then countersunk for screws. I then primed the inside of the mapbox with rustoleum black primer.  I am planning on using hammered black inside the mapbox and possibly for the whole panel.
Time: 2.5 hrs
