I sanded down the filler I applied yesterday.<\/p>\n

As expected, there are some low spots, so I’ll need another coat or two, but the overall shape is getting very close.<\/p>\n

The cowl has these covers over the holes to access the side hinge pins. \u00a0I decided to fasten the hinge pins to the covers, so I ground a groove in the back of the cover and mixed up some JB Weld and glued them together. \u00a0You can see the back side of the cover in the mirror above the cover.<\/p>\n
