Matt, I saw the remains late last year (while returning home from the Air Races), and there is truly not much left. Most of the airplane was in the back of a truck. :-(

There are pieces of wreckage at the Pacific Museum at Ford Island. Its not much but in todays world anything can be made. I'm not sure what the intentions are for the "parts" but its there.

Any chance the F6F being used as a wind vane at Andrews AFB is going to come in from the cold?
