I have the top cowl riveted on, as well as the lower bottom hinges. Next step looks to be the joint between the upper and lower halves, followed by riviting of those hinges. My question is, does it matter if you cut the lower half or the upper half before installing the hinges? It looks like either could work, but think I have a bit more room if I cut the lower half. Plane is RV-7, engine is O-360, and has the standard Vans cowling.
Thanks in advance
