Thanks for the update Chuck,
Looking forward to seeing this one on our CA airshow circuit when finished. Drove by your airport a couple weeks ago, but pretty quiet on the ramp during my Saturday visit.

Wow that is unbelievable work on a really cool plane. Congrats all -- jb

Sorry for the delay, will try to do updates more often. Just to much going on. I retired in Feb(now I truly have less free time), an 18 month old daughter who prefers to hang out in the hangar and ruffle thru everything, doing a bunch of Warbird annuals(which includes keeping 2 T-28s a T-6G and my C310 airworthy), trying to fly every now and then, plus getting ready to truck in the next project, oh and work on the SNJ regularly. You know, Steve you might be right, I gotta get with it!

A lot of time could be saved if the various events you're planning on
attending would just send you the trophys now

ps. Got any pics !!!

Wow, simply amazing work! Regarding the P'cola stamps on the tailhook, are those original? The entire unit looks so clean that it seems to be NOS, but you mention the tailhook has been used in operations and has the wear from it. Just curious more than anything.

I really like the fact you have the original wire marking machine... talk about authenticity!

You can't just say that in passing! So what's the next project, a B-24 No that can't be it, it has to be N.A. made. How about an F-86 No, must be a trainer...I know a TF-51!!! No, a TB-25!!!

I am sworn to secrecy but I can tell you the next project is (sound of Chuck hitting the back of my head with a 3/4 drive breaker bar and me falling face down onto the keyboard) ohgn;ojhg;onvehgvn;ajp;voghoreyeproglxcmnv;agyowjglo[egyudf'kngaljfhgqeoh'lqfg'ofig'qerkng'QERhgifdgadgn'qepigiphjgksdg;ohg'qke'gkhjenfblnadfobhre[ouhgenbfldhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
