Progress update time—some good news to report.
-
The front panel has been repainted (for the third time) and is finally ready for the chrome pieces. Seeing everything start to come together like this is incredibly satisfying.
-
Over Christmas, I decided to add one more thing to the ever-growing “to-do turned done” list and made a really nice flag addition.
-
I also had custom brackets made for the side mirrors.
The flag almost floats in place. It’s sewn to a backing substrate, which is then glued to a piece of wood (as mentioned in an earlier post). The flag itself is excellent quality—though I regret to inform everyone that it came from the US (Georgia).
Still to do (or redo):
-
Mechanical inspection
-
Registration and insurance — it’s been two months since I sent all my information and I still haven’t heard back. Not exactly unexpected from government services, but disappointing nonetheless.
-
Bolt in the pocket doors
-
Create a check strap for the rear doors. Maybe add the bumpers.
-
Install the hubcaps
-
Paint some bolt heads
-
Fit the side mirrors (probably). I’m planning to mount them on the front edge of the doors, at the back of the B-pillar
-
Tighten the headlamps
-
Install the park light bezel
-
Tighten the loose turn indicator
Small things. But details matter, and the Kandyman has standards and pride.
