I have some really cool pictures of Corsair spars during production, however I haven't ever been able to figure out how to post a picture on this forum. [/img]

Thanks for posting that picture.

The number of spars, etc. in that picture certainly gives you some inkling of just what the phrase "Arsenal of Democracy" really meant in WWII.

I need one! A local friend of mine also needs one. As I understand at least two groups are tooling up to build new ones. Due to cost of new production I may be forced to do my own.
