Much of steel tubing that made up the bottom truss of the fuselage needed to be replaced.
I built a solid table and blocked each tube and the tail post. Then removed the fuselage and built a new bottom truss in the jig created.
I placed the fuselage back on the table and removed the rusted out bottom. Afterward I tack welded it all back together and added other tubes per the gross weight increase STC.
