Default Something a little more unique, 60-size with a round cowl??

Looking for round-cowl ideas for a Saito 120R3... I think any cowl 6" and up ID will work. Trying to keep it 60-sized.

I'd love to build something unique and challenging, but I have to balance that goal with family, work, etc. So I'm hoping that you guys know of a kit cutter that sells 'glass-fuse short kits, or at least a fiberglass vendor who can supply cowls & wheel pants for well-known plans (which I can send to a kit cutter). Is anyone out there besides Fiberglass Specialties?

Thanks in advance

Balsa USA Phaeton 90 biplane, bash the kit a bit to make it look like an old Stearman YPT-9. I have a kit and some day that's exactly what I'll do.
