Top Cowl Drilled

After match-drilling the top cowl in two locations and marking the areas where the cowl would have to be trimmed to allow for a recess where the hinge pins will be secured, I could take the cowl off and sand the lower half a bit more to allow proper clearance on the aft left side.

The sides look like there would be a very large gap but that closes easily when pushing inside a bit. It should look great once the side hinges are drilled and clecoed.
But before that the top had to get drilled to the aft hinges.

Now that it is in its final position, it appears that the left aft side of the lower cowl has to get trimmed just a tad more to have a perfect fit.
I should probably remove the freshly drilled clecos on the top anyway to clean out any debris caught between the fiberglass and the hinges.
