I am striving to work on The Kogai at least 15 minutes every day. I've been sanding scratches and beating the dents out of the replacement (1968) right front fender. It's almost ready for a light skim coat of bondo then primer. I'll be painting it a flat white to get it all one color (since that matters a lot to Mrs. Rod). I removed the drivers door inner panel and replaced the drivers door handle. I found the missing headlight assembly, the bulb even works in high and low beam! I moved all the junk from the front of the garage, pushed the 38 Coupe into the corner, moved the 24 Car out of my shop garage into Mrs. Rod's garage. Then moved the Kogai inside! I was poking around and removed the side marker lights. There is a huge mouse nest in there.. yuck! It's time to get some lysol and bleach to disinfect it. The gas pedal linkage was in the same box of parts as the headlight and several parts that hold the steering column in. I ordered a shop manual which I'll need to figure out how all those parts fit together. I found a NOS tail light lens AND all four NORS side marker lights on Ebay! I'm going to be in trouble when Mrs. Rod gets the credit card bill next month!
December 10, 2019. I pulled the rear side panels off. Yikes. Disinfectant time!
