All mid-fuselage ribs and bulkhead riveted in place |
I clecoed the bottom skins on and final-drilled all the holes:

Mid-fuselage section with skins and floor stiffeners only (it barely clears the ceiling!) |
I found that the holes from the skin to the outboard seat ribs don't align :( so I'll need to flute that part, which will be especially tricky with it already riveted in place:
Since I only have a vise-grip-style fluting plier, which would be even harder to use in this space, I've ordered a regular plier from Spruce and will give that a try when it gets here - I have plenty of other holes and edges to deburr in the meantime.
