I decided to have a Carbon Fiber  instrument panel built.  I have
just learned  that an image can be inlaid in the  panel. I am
thinking of having a silver  rotor  showing through from the depths
of the CF.  Has anyone seen anything like this done before?

Also, in CF,  I have just ordered a very unique nose bowl and spinner
combination.  The spinner is 15 inch diameter.  What makes the nose
bowl unique  is that the air inlets originally intended for a
Lycoming,  are  asymmetrical corresponding to the cylinder off sets.
It is extremely racy looking.  The left inlet will fed the oil cooler
and the right inlet will be induction air.

Lastly,  I finished the louvers a couple of days ago but even before
they were done, I had committed to making them over.  Now that I have
been through the process, I think I can make a nice set.  If mistakes
are the path to knowledge, I should be a genius by now.
