Ok, its not actual airplane progress, but I can now move the fuselage around the shop as I please and level it accurately. There are four jack points so I can level it again and figure out which of the twists I can straighten, and which I will have to live with. I have decided to fit the wings and see how everything aligns. I don't like the look of some of the welds as mentioned in another post, so it may need reworking. This should be the start of some regular progress.
The dolly is courtesy of the scrounging abilities of my wife. We have dozens of commercial, steel framed, on wheels display tables that she found for almost nothing. To bad she found them after I had built five wing tables-two for the bolt, and three for the shop.
