What ya going to do with the old one?

I need one very soon. Hope its much improved.

Recently received my cowling for the 701. And I am feeling the pain. First of all it took over six months. I was grateful to finally get it until I tried to fit it. I noticed in your photo of the second cowl that it looks like it was cut down the middle. I think I'm going to have to do the same thing because the cowl is about 5 inches wider in the front than it needs to be and its about 3 inches wider than the firewall itself. Taking material out of the middle is the only option I see. I'm not sure what I'll have to do to the top cowl with all the curves and no solid reference points for matching the two halves. I was wondering how wide the 750 is compared to the 701 at the firewall. And if the second cowl had changes made to the top half as well. The one I have is divided a little different but the overall shape is the same. But it makes my plane look like a sick bulbus-nosed sea lion. I'm not about to send it back as I'd like to finish the thing before I die. There are so many things AM could have done along the way to make this venture at least less painful. I'm trying to concentrate on solution here but I could go on a while with complaints. If you have any advice or further insights with this cowl, I'd surely appreciate it. Thanks
