Where the top cowl overlapped the bottom cowl, it is marked and then trimmed.
Next the lower cowl's aft hinges get marked for drilling.
Once all the holes are marked, the bottom cowl gets tapped to the fuse all the way down both sides. It is critical that the fiberglass is even with the fuse skins.
Then the hinges are drilled and cleco'ed.
Next the side parting line hinges are located. They are intentionally clamped slightly higher so that the necessary gap between the top and the bottom is less noticeable.
Then they are marked using the flexible ruler.
And then drilled.
