Thanks everyone, I am excited to put some hours on it.

Right on! I am only 5-7 years right behind you. I am doing a James cawl also, what did you use for fasteners.

I used the Skybolt fasteners. I did the complete kit, if I had to do it again I would probably use the hinges between the cowl halves and only use the Skybolts around the firewall. It is a pain to get the cowl halves seperated with the Skybolts, other than that they work great.
