I installed a nutplate to hold the center console side panel:

We used the windshield (even without trimming) to mark a line of the inside of the top forward skin so we want to apply primer/paint on it (and later do a first cut of the glareshield material to it):
Windshield in place to mark glareshield area
Forward fuselage top skin with glareshield area cleared of vinyl for primer
Forward fuselage top skin being protected with tape in non-primed/painted areas
Painting the visible parts of the forward fuselage top skin
Primed and painted forward fuselage top skin
Forward fuselage structure assembled together
Forward fuselage structure riveted together
Cooling/defrost fan doublers riveted in place
Panel attachment flanges and nutplates riveted in place
With this, section 31 is complete, except for the bracket that holds engine cables which I'm not yet sure I'll need. Actually attaching the panel to the fuselage is part of the later section 41, which I'll do after the firewall layout is complete.
