The last several days (weeks?) have been spent trying to tackle the cowling. An immense amount of work here.

Fitting, trimming, fitting, sanding, fitting, cussing. It’s a tough section and I feel, at times, it may just best me.
I’ve temporarily installed the prop and spinner, if not to check fitment that to at least motivate me and give me a glimpse as to what I’m working toward.

I’ve decided that hinges on the sides and Skybolt fasteners the rest of the way around will be the approach for attaching this thing. If I can ever get it to fit.
