Very slow going. I have made some progress though.
These pictures are not in any particular order but gives a basic idea of what's going on.
   
One side assembled.
Currently working on the hangers. My third attempt at getting them somewhere close to acceptable.  
More as it happens.

Yeah I do it all the time when it's included in the kit. Jeff, you're doing an exceptional job on that!

Gentlemen, thanks for your comments. I don't think I've ever heard anybody refer to me as normal. |

So except for paint and final fit, I've got one side done.
The holes hit the tabs.
They hang relatively straight.
And the height and alignment are not too bad and will get tweeked on final fitment.
Now all I have to do is make the other side match.
