I was involved in the restoration of this aircraft. I remember when it was just a pile of parts.

Paul;
This P-47 is my friend Butch Schroeder's T-Bolt, "Hairless Joe" and the info is in the WRG Registry at:

Thanks for posting it!
Blue skies,
Jerry

PS: Butch is standing on the wing!

The photo on the bottom of that link is what she looked like when it got to Air Heritage, and the after pic is what she lookedlike when it left. Most of the work was done at Beaver Falls, but I think all of the avionics and some of the other final stuff was done else where. Butch was really cool when he was in the facility.
