Brief Description:  Cowling #5

-Did some additional edge sanding
-Cut the horizontal hinges to length ( I screw'd up and didn't remove the pins so I'll need some new ones - I thought the horizontal part used the SS pins, but not so - only the firewall hinges do.)
-Layed out the rivet locations in the upper and lower cowl for the horizontal hinge
-Clamped the hinge in place on the left and right side and started drilling the top cowl
-Did the same for the bottom cowl
-Removed the lower cowl and started c/s the holes in the lower cowl and the horizontal row of rivets on the top cowl
-Removed the vertical hinges along the side and deburred, c/s the fuse rivets holes for dimples, and drilled the 1/4" bonding holes on the cowl side of the hinges
More of the same left to do then I can rivet/bond the hinges to the cowl and the airplane (except the top cowl firewall hinges which rivet on with the top skin which I'm not ready to do- best to leave open until all the wiring is done).
