I did not realize that I needed to trim the front baffle ears. The next image shows what I'm talking about. My front baffles are "finished" I thought. So they are painted and riveted together. When I went to do the baffle material I discovered that I should have trimmed the ears down considerably to make room for the upper ramps.
I put the top cowl on and was able to reach in and trace a line on the ears by putting the pen against the upper ramp and following its curvature. See the picture for the area, scribbled in white that I need to remove.
What I can't figure out is how to transition the ear trimming to the main part of the front baffle. One option would be to cut straight up the bend as is shown by the red line. Another option would be curved line from the cut line in the ear to the top of the front baffle. This is shown by the yellow line.
These baffles have been by far the most difficult part of the build for me. They have taken forever. I'm asking for tips or pictures on this one because I do NOT want to build the front baffles over again.
Here's the picture. Thanks for any tips!
