Really great to see it finally sitting on all three gear and all but ready to go out and fly (10 years in the making!).

There are two more in-line with those guys too, with P-51D's 44-73973 (N6325T) and 44-12870 (N3024T) - both of which I believe are projects that came from Brent Meester (Odegaard Wings).

Where are those pics John? The last photos I see on their facebook page are from Nov. 2012 and the www.restorelouiv.com never works for me.

Congratulations to the proud owner.
May he enjoy many years of safe flying.

Out of curiosity, has anyone ever done a version of "Lou IV" in Olive drab instead of blue?
