Top Cowl Hinges Drilled

I got all of the hinges put in place with their initial drilled holes. It then took me the rest of tonight’s time to get the top hinges done because they are pretty stiff and didn’t want to conform to the tight bend. I’m going to imagine they want us to bend that to relieve the stress because once I rivet that to the fiberglass cowling it will deform it, where the body has alot more structure to hold its shape. Either way, if it doesn’t I will bend it so it doesn’t deform it.
