NC24 Solo Cowl Project

They don't seem to exist as an aftermarket item so I thought I would make my own. I'll update as I get the different stages done. The plan is to build the cowl onto the existing seat base so I don't have to feck about creating new fixing points, etc.
First on the menu was to strip the covering - hmmm, rusty staples

Next, trying to decide on the design. I eventually came up with this


My plan for this afternoon is to papier mache over this and form the defined shape of the cowl. Once that is properly dry, I'll cling film over it and papier mache again to make the mould. Once the mould is dry, I'll varnish/lacquer the inside. Then once that has hardened nicely for a few days, I can begin fibreglassing
