And that looks like a busy engine compartment!
I thought it was Tom DeLay, the Hammer (I love that guy . . .)

Was Bob's friend with the homebuilt car there?
I'm curious what Mr. Diemert thought about The Defender documentary.

I wonder if he stays in touch with his good buddy in minnesota?After all that was a fine P-40 he rebuilt for Ron.

That would be top secret photos of the super Defender soon to replace the now out dated F-22 at a fraction of the cost

Gary, since it appears he is in Texas, maybe he is looking to restore another plane for the CAF............................
Well, as interesting as that would be, I think that I'll pass on allowing that opportunity.

Yeah, I'd like to hear his version of that story too. The way Connie tells it, it's hillarious.

His buddy's name was Chris Ball (yeah, yeah, I've seen the documentary waaaaay too many times). I've always wondered how the "Wedge" and Chris' version of the Defender were doing. I wonder if he was able to design a wing for it like they ended up doing with the "real" Defender.....which looked amazing like a Cessna 180/182 wing in the final result.
In all seriousness though, I've always wanted to meet Mr. Deimert. I reckon there are tons of good/interesting stories to be told by him.
