I know I said that I was finished w/ the cowl, and I was,,,, but..... I needed to UV prime the oil door and final attach the Cam Loc's (I wanted the metal washers to be flush with the surface and therefore recessed into the oir door, and that little detail added several hours of filling and sanding, etc. Then I needed to (but really didn't want to) reattach the cowl and see/reassure myself that everything still fits properly. That's another hou or two, boy putting this cowl on and off is not a one person job and it takes much longer than I like. I have an idea about installing some alum brake line inside the cockpit that mich make the insertion of the horizontal hinge pins easier. I also spent 30-45 mins on the scotchbrite wheel further tapering the upper right cowl hinge pin, it goes in better now, especially with a little lube, but it's still VERY tight. I think I'll work on both some more. with everythign fit together, there are a couple of areas thet need some detailing, so I've made notes of those and put them on the 'To Do" list.
