Looking good!

Regarding the panel bends. My FFR panel bends were all between .062 and .078. Yours appear to be about the same.

6061 isn't really a structural aluminum so you don't see it in Boeing commercial aircraft manual charts, and industry charts have differing opinions. Supplier charts are all over the place but short story is that FFR bends are at 1.5t-2t range which is well within industry norms. As a side note: T4 tends to show the same minimum bend radius as T6.
