On test fit #6,374 of the hood I noticed that the top of the cowl had a high spot along it's width, which created a weird transition from the cowl to the hood. Even the vents had a rounded shape.






I was able to flatten the vents by tapping them down, with a steel block laid across them to flatten them evenly.








To the left and right of the vents had the same bulge.




After a few passes with the shrinking disk.




The disc leaves the surface too smooth for primer to stick so I rough it back up with 100 grit on a 5" grinder, then 60 grit on a DA.








The shape after- good flow from the cowl to the hood that should be able to be perfected with a single thin skim coat of filler.






Same process on the other side.
