260 cowl refurbish

Post: # 24141Post rjdubiel »

Got a 260 style cowl and pan for a great price. It is a fiberglass cowl and pan. It's rough! But should clean up nice with minimal effort.

You going to paint that red and blue one or leave it as is? Would love to see a better picture or two of it.

Yes, that one is a factory plastic one someone painted, I bet there was two of these at one time. But it's going back to black. I have some blue and white promax graphics that matches my vking. The other will go back to stock.

Got the plastic one painted, fiberglass one needs lots of work before paint. Some pics of the plastic cowl and some mids.
