I personally like the William Wynne rendition. Oscar has a good set of pictureson his page at:http://www.flysquirrel.net/piets/WWPiet.htmllooks like most of the parts are flat panel.The top segment of the cowl could be shaped freehand out of foam to a pleasingprofile and made of fiberglass.A lot of the full cowls you see on Piets w/ Corvairs are for the original Corvairconverssion retaining the belt driven blower fan.michael ----- Original Message -----
