Today I spent the better part of 3 hours finishing the drilling on the bottom piano hinge and trimming the cowling some more for a slightly better fit on the aircraft. I have removed and reinstalled the cowling probably 30 times now. I am never satisfied with the fit until it is perfect. Right now I am battling the left side of the engine rocker covers are hitting the cowling a bit. Below are a few pictures after I decided to wheel the plane out of the hangar for some overall shots.
