The top of the cowl is made in 3 parts the top, left side , right side. The top is flexi 6mm MDF glued and pined, as they were small i pre drilled and put a drop of crazy glue on the pin and taped it in to place. This held ok with some clamps.the sides are done the same way.
this is what the side view looks like
there will be an over hang that will need to filled and sanded.

(top) it is taking shape
Bottom this was filled with a lot of filler and then loads of sanding by hand what i would have given
for a DA sander at this point
Below i used a steel bar to check the profile of the back to the front of the tub
this gave me a good line for the bonnet later on
this has taken 2 or 3 weeks of messing around to get right and sanded smooth. at this time i was still playing round with using fiber glass and making plugs and looking at making reinforced fiberglass parts later on in the project i get to this after a lot of research after never doing this before
if you need more information or help i am happy to help any one that would like to make one its not hard i promise
