Start Trimming Engine Cowling

This afternoon I started to trim the fiberglass engine cowling.  I used a dremel tool to trim the engine upper and lower cowling sections to the scribe lines.  I set up a work space in the garage because I am not sure how much cutting and sanding I am allowed to do in the hangar.  I trimmed the lower cowling first.  I also cut out the section in the bottom of the lower cowling for the nose gear leg. I will need to sand all of the edges to the scribe lines including the cut out for the nose fear leg.
