Trim for paint

Heartbreaking to trim the cowlings that had such a great fit but any paint would chip at first engine start as it was so I have trimmed them. A picture of a lot of today's work, finding parts.

Oil door

Decided to follow the plans for now. The wing nuts for the oil door will probably be replaced with something else after a year of flying.
