I spent the day cleaning up the remaining tasks left before starting the covering. There are a lot of pictures, so I will split today's work into a few posts.

* After reviewing pictures of the factory plane, I made a couple of changes to the top boot cowl skins. 1) I added two more rivets to the front where the top skin is fastened to the side skin. 2) I trimmed the bottom of this same edge to be about 1/4" below the centerline of the rivets. I think the edge looks better when parallel with the line of rivets. 3) I put a slight bend in this bottom edge. I got this idea from the factory plane, and my intention is to make sure there are no gaps in this joint between the top and side skins.
Forward two rivets added and edge trimmed parallel to rivet line.
Putting a slight bend in the bottom of the top skin.
