Restoration business

Hi All

I know its a long shot here, but I figured this is the largest collection or Warbird nuts around so why not give it a shot.

I have a good friend who is retired Air Force, and a warbird nut. He as amassed an amazing collection of warbird wrecks, parts and projects.

Among this mass of stuff, are 22 T-6's projects, 12 of them are G models. These are the first to start restoration. The first one is slated to fly in April/May and will be offered for sale.

Also in the collection are, an SE-5, a Spit, a Corsair, 2 Hurricanes, a P-51, a P-47........

He would like to turn this into a full time business. If anyone knows anybody who might be interested in either buying a completed T-6, or would be willing to back the venture, please let me know.

Thanks!

22 T-6 projects (!). Does he have any spare T-6 parts he'd
be willing to sell?

Can't help with the restoration biz, but I have a question:

What's the green box/gizmo underneath the back seat in
the 3rd picture with the hose going aft towards the tailcone?

Bela, it looks like a smoke tank to me.

Oh, and check your PMs.
