More work was done on the lower cowl in preparation to fiberglassing in the the front openings. The 2 part foam was shaped with a 1/4" radius front edge. After removing the gelcoat, it was found that some large air pockets were in the original fiberglass layup so that needed to be repaired with filler.

Three layers of omni-directional fiberglass were epoxied in on the front cowl and a final peal ply was added. After a 5 hour cure, the peal ply was removed.

The coolant radiator was mounted and all bolts were torqued and cotter pins were added where needed. We used Titanium M10 bolts on the main brackets to help reduce some weight.
