Located new #1 turtledeck formers and confirmed much better fit than previous formers. Used #30 holes in turtledeck skin and transferred to formers. Located forward skin splice channel clip and pilot drilled to skin splice channel and former #1 splice plate. Began up drilling turtledeck assembly starting from aft side and working forward. First up drilled skin splice channel and skin splice joint. Working back to front, up drilled turtledeck skin holes, then skin splice clips, then formers/vertical channel joints, then lower cross ties. Was not able to access holes that attach former clips to skin splice channel so holes will need to be up drilled once turtledeck skin is removed. Elevator push tube mounts also up drilled. Did not up drill #1 former area.
