Cowling trim / hinges

It is a little harder getting out to the shop as it is cold outside. Luckily I have a heater in the shop so I can warm it up some, but it does take some time. I try to find work sessions that will last more than a few minutes to warrant warming up the shop.

I worked on the hinge halves that will go to the cowling. They were cut and marks were placed for future drilling. The eyelets on the curves were beveled.  I installed the hinge halves with hinge pins and fluted around the curve.

I think worked on trimming the cowling to the scribe line. The upper one was trimmed with dremel and then hand sanded to the line. The lower was trimmed with the dremel but will have to wait until next time to get it sanded to the scribe line. Not my favorite part of the project but doable.

Time: 2.5 hrs.
