Country:  | Definatly very cool. She is going to be a beaut. I agree and would love to work on these old planes. They were so simple and easy it would just be a joy and a great past time.
It is projects like this that make me realize I did the right thing by joining this field of work and getting an A&P liscense. Flying is fun but tearing them apart and putting them back together is great as well.

Country: | Well today was a milestone - after fixing all the F*#k ups we pushed out of the barn, put some gas in her and she came to life!
The 4th photo is my daughter, she turned 1.5 the other day!

Country: | Thanks guys - besides getting the wings on I have to comply with an AD on the wing struts. The lower portion of the struts corrode so that has to be checked. Also the numbnuts who covered the wings left out about a half dozen cap screws on the lower R/H wing on the L/E. I have to find out if I could put the capscrews over the covering and the patch them or else the whole right wing will have to be re covered.
Although she ran well, the mag switch didn't work right, (bad ground) I had fuel leaks all over the place and the oil pressure sending unit was leaking - all because the folks from Taylorcraft put all the fittings on just a tad tighter than hand tight. I've got to go through everything to make sure this thing doesn't fall apart on the first flight.
Anyway, more to come!
