Really looks great Paul!!! Great job!! I have one suggestion you may not have heard of. Get a roll of 3M 3 " Aluminum tape and put a couple of layers on the inside of the cowl between the opening at the front for the can and the opening for the stinger. Because the material there is so close to the can the heat can affect it and blister your paint. The aluminum tape acts as a shield against the heat. I use this a lot on my planes for heat shielding. I also put a couple of layers around my EI unit to shield RF. Once again, Great Job!!!
