I got my wife out in the garage tonight and we started banging rivets on the aft fuse. Before I drilled the fuse I checked to make sure it was straight. I also checked again after I clecoed it back together. It seems like everything is straight...but I have some major oil canning going on between the 707 and 708 bulkheads, and also between the 708 and 710. Has anyone else seen this?
I've searched the matronics archives and it seems that other people have had oil canning on the bottom skins, so I'm not too surprised it's happening. It just seems that in my case the oil canning is quite severe. I've made a video to demonstrate. You can download it here:

What would you all recommend? Should I just continue riveting then deal w/ the oil canning later by possibly adding more j-channels, or should I stop now and take corrective action?
Any thoughts appreciated.
