Finish kit arrives
Posted in FinishingThe finish kit arrived today via Partain Transport…now all the major kits are on site. The box is the biggest yet, due to the canopy and cowling. There is a list of backordered parts that are not present, but it looks like all the major pieces are here, including the wheels and engine mount which weren’t in the box; the driver and a note from Van’s said they arrived at the factory the day my kit was being loaded, so they just wrapped them up (very well) in padded blankets and strapped them in the trailer.
I will admit to feeling a bit intimidated by the finish kit at the moment…it’s a huge box, and reading a new thread last night about canopy troubles didn’t much help! But the plan is still full steam ahead this summer — I’d like to get the canopy done and spend the winter fiddling with systems.
