The homemade tailwheel hitch.....Tim and Tony fashioned the 3" spacer on the strut, to help with clearance of the bottom of the fuselage and the pickup bed side walls.

You should send those pictures in for a Dodge truck advertisement! So, what's the story on this PV?

PJ....I don't have the Lockheed book with me (Pooner won't give it back!) But a short term history is....ex-Tim Savage...he swaped out engines on it...donated it to some museum...and the museum traded it to Aero Trader as I understand.....Hope things are going well for the Hot Stuff crew...haven't heard anything from y'all lately...

Due to the holidays there isn't much going on for Hot Stuff right now. Since we aren't changing an engine this winter we can take a holiday break.
