Hello,

I was fixing up an airplane for a buddy, and he had a ABS cowl, which I hate. He said If I could make a new one, to go ahead. So now I'm wondering whats the best way to make one. Its a GP extra 300s, and he'd rather try and make our own instead of buying one from fiberglass specialties. I was thinking of a few things, I need mold release, but after that I have nothing. Do I have to make a mold out of the plastic one, than make the cowl from the mold? Or do I have to carve on out of wood, make a mold, than make the cowl. My grandpa has made tons of fiberglass cowls but I would hate to bug him as hes building a B-25 that hes concentrating heavily on, soI don't want him to get lost in that project.

Pictures, URLs, tips would greatly be appreciated!

Thanks</p>
