See this FB Post on how to keep the skin and clamping block in place while bending.

Step 5
When match drilling from the F-1001B angle into the WD-1002-L / WD-1002-R firewall steel brackets, be aware that it's easy to violate the edge distance in the steel bracket (2 x D, measured from the center of hole). Remedy is to temporarily install a bolt into the engine mount hole to pull the bracket into place and to use a clamp to move the steel bracket to increase edge distance.

Don't rivet the forward cabin floor to the center tunnel walls if you are getting electronic injection (SDS or EFII), or you intend to install access covers to the side of the tunnel as the rivet holes will be needed. For the SDS pump shelf, you will have 5 stock rivets counting from front, then the next 11 are to be left out for the fuel pump shelf.
