Is this cowl made out of aluminum, it looks like it to me? I thought that they were fiberglass. I am interested in AL cowl as I'm polishing.

Hi Kevin,



Boy I haven't seen that picture in a long time!  That is a standard Zenith 

fiberglass cowl covered by an application of $3 aluminum color paint from 

the auto store.... I think the photo makes it look a little better than it 

is... but it did look pretty good all things considered!

It does look pretty good in the pic. Looking at it it makes me think that I could cut the front off and make a nose bowl then fabricate the rest out of Al. I really like the Cub like cowl cheeks on the the flywithgus 701 site. This would give me just a little fiberglass to paint...swooshes and such fading into raw AL... I feel a picture forming...
