I believe this P-63 was a project sold by Courtesy several years ago and being rebuilt by Aerocrafters. Now it's being sold again. If I remember right it was listed for around 350k about 5 years ago. It wasn't in the CAF.

This is a different project. The one you mention came direct from Minnesota and eventually wound up in Arizona. This one came from a museum in Washington and then to the current owner who sent it to Aerocrafters. Nothing has been done on it for a few years. Some of the mods for the back seat can be seen in the rear fuselage but most of that evidence is long gone.

So is this the ex-Brian Reynolds project?

I don't know the guys name but when I originally saw the pictures of the project it was in a hangar with a Sea Fury. This would have been around 1998.

Yes, it is the ex Brian Reynolds project. It was at Sanders Aeronautical with the Wally Fisk fire damaged airframes. The Reynolds airframe was going to be a pattern airframe for the burned airframes when Mr Reynolds sold the project to the current owner. The fire damaged airframes went to Arizona.
