Good Idea on the Shark Leader, I just happen to have a gift card for Gander and BassPro...

RCU won't let me post any pics, all I can do is the fast reply.. They must be having some very rare problems with the site...lol Took me several trys to post this!!!

I am going to head over to the hardware store and see what I can find to try and fix the cowl issue. I think this whole problem is telling me to fix the chipped canopy and sand and fill the cowl like it should have been at the factory. I can also get the canopy to fit right at the turtle deck.. The juices are starting to flow on a sharp checker board paint idea for thenose that flows onto the canopy as well.. I can then try and match the silver add some red and have the stripes dive towards the bottom of the cowl.. This GW ARF is turning into a total bash all because I tried to save a few dollars on the air frame...lol Just have to take it in stride I guess, one thing is for sure, it will be the only Bulldog Pitts Python that looks like this in the whole world...

Lets try and see if it will let me post some pics..
