That's a lot of bolts! But at least they've got nuts on them and won't need tapping. Looking forward to seeing more!

There sure are a bunch. I was thinking there were more riveted joints on the exterior but now I can see. I will probably tap most of the holes and then put a nut on some. That would make the joint less likely to come loose. That's easier for me because those tiny nuts are a real pain to screw on a loose bolt. Nuts do show better detail than just a bolt head.
