After a little more trimming of the aft end of the upper cowl, I strapped it down and laid out holes on approximately 1″ spacing for drilling the cowl to the hinge. I then drilled one hole on each end of the hinge and one in the middle to lock the upper cowl into its final position.
Afterward, I tucked the upper cowl behind the lower and marked the trim line on the upper cowl.
It looks like the side joints are going to work out perfectly. The extra material that the factory added on gave me just enough material to overlap slightly so that I can create a perfectly straight joint.
The other side looks great too. It’s too late to run the power tools tonight, so I’ll try and trim this tomorrow.
