What's the progress of SBD-4 10694?

Also--this J2F for sale. Isn't it a little overpriced for a restoration project?

that can't be the recent picture of the duck, if it is, it doesn't look to shabby to me. the pic looks old, if not familiar to me. regards, tom

looks like a pic from a squadron signal publication on the duck, + look at the color hue quality, it just looks old, only my opinion...... but then opinions are like a**holes every body's got one. regards, tom
