    Moved the dimple up because the body sits at a slight angle and it’ll help clear the cap. the new firewall is 1/2” plywood that’ll be laminated with 1/4” aluminum plate which I’ll be able to block sand and polish and it won’t be so fragile.

    I have a plan I’m hoping works out…I’m going to cut the hole out and the router the opening with a radius and mount the dimple to the back side so I can keep the aluminum flat and polish it like a mirror.

    a couple updates-

    I sectioned the top lip that rises about 3/4 to an inch above the cowl to where it's almost flat and the chopped windshield frame sits right on top of the cowl, looks so much cleaner.

    Great work on your cowl mods Tuck! Better to see you're back on your roadster too!
