Finishing Lower Cowl

I'm almost finished with the lower cowl. I've attached the hinges and put two coats of thinned epoxy on the inside. The epoxy helps keep it clean by sealing the surface so oil and stains don't soak in. I'll paint the inside with white paint soon.

I also finished the lower cowl support bracket. It was a fun challenge as the only instructions were the blueprints and there was a complicated order of fabrication to avoid violating edge distances for rivets and holes. It turned out well as five years of building experience must be good for something. The red wire is just there to temporarily hold the exhaust pipe out of the way. The two pins sticking out the bottom are how the hinge pins for the bottom cowl attachment are secured.
