Nice work on the cowl, smooth. And would it be an Aero improvement? The old nascar stuff always had the cowl blocked off like that.

Not 100% sure , but with lexan windows I don’t need air coming in the car . I had been running with it taped off with masking tape for a while now . The cowl hood hides that so you never saw the tape .
Plus in my opinion it just looks so nice

One other reason to do that is that in the event of a underhood fire the cowl 'air' finds it's way into the interior.

WELL... i have to buy a converter, and i have spent a lot so far..... my wife and i took a trip to the local "recycling/scrap" yard. I told her, if i can find alum sheet for under $50.00 thats what its going to be ( for now) SO guess what i got for $30.00 ..... i got some .040 aluminum sheet. Now it is all flat and when i can, i will buy some carbon sheet to replace it.
Now i just need to decide if im painting it body color OR Faux carbon , im leaning towards body color on the trunk side and black underneath.

Understand for sure. Carbon aint a budget friendly material for sure. I just finished up the entire bed along with two sheets for the bed cover. Along with some other misc pieces of varying thicknesses. Mine was all aluminum with a tinted plexi bed cover before.

Not perfect but kind of the look I was after . The shruggy trunk lid will really never be off so
