Hi everyone, I'm Eric Miller. I really injoy this web site, and finally became a member not to long ago. I live in San Diego, ( Native ). I'm 36 years old and have always loved Warbirds. I was lucky to be able to volunteer at the San Diego Areo Space Museum during High school. I started cleaning and work my way into restoring the airplanes. First rivets I ever did where in a Ford Tri Motor. I worked there till I graduated ( then off to the Navy ) I finally returned to the Warbird world about 9 years ago. I figured that I sould do what I want in life, and that is be around Warbirds. So I started Project Warbird. A one man restoration shop. I have helped restore several aircraft over the years. I have worked on t-6's, Stearmans, L-5, B-17's, and a A-26. Just finished a Harvard 4 ( first flight was April 1st ) I'm now working on a T-6G for someone, and I'm doing a 1946 Taylorcraft for my Museum. Also doing a 1942 Ford GPW for the Museum. I have a good start of a SNJ-5 project in the back of the hanger I wish to do for my Museum. I sell Salvaged aircraft parts to fund the Museum, and work on other peoples aircraft. My dream Warbird is the P-40 and have been collecting parts. ( Dream big and you will live Big ) I'm looking to relocate to Tennissee this year. Cost to much anymore to live in CA. I can get a bigger hanger for less. When I get relocated I'm going to get a web site done for my Museum so everyone can see what I'm working on.

I LOVE THESE OLD PLANES !!!!!!!!!!!!!
