Sounds great. I'm reading through 7 months worth of teamgrumman digests and eagerly awaiting my first flight in more than 8 months, the longest stretch I've gone since 1998.

I've been working on installing the Jaguar cowling on 119ST for a week now. Other than the owner, no one else knows that 119ST was the plane I used for all of my original company testing. 119ST has had 6 different prototype cowlings, 3 different kinds of exit ramps, and 2 different versions of air intakes tested on it. I used 119ST for a year way-back-when to test a bunch of ideas. Check out pict 030.jpg.
I also had the cowling that is now on N1976T on 119ST about 3 years ago.
Maybe it's my familiarity with the plane or maybe that after installing 3 cowlings in as many months, but, this one is going really smooth. The trim lines on this cowling are very close to the planes mounting flange. This plane has one shim (I got two responses from you guys on shims and distances to the spinner, thanks) on each of the top mounts and the distance to the spinner is just a shade under 40 inches. It's got to be differences in bushings and mounts . . . . but, I digress.
The cowling should be all trimmed up by tomorrow. The missing baffles should be here this week also. Then, all the rest of the details.
