Cecil,
What's the story on the green vette, I assume it is a 56/7 ?

Cecil,

That was my 56 that i bought in Hawaii in 72. Paid $1000 for it and thought I might have paid too much. Had original 2x4 engine and PG with power windows and power top. I bought 2 other 56s there....one for $700 and one for $300.
I traded the green one and a ground up restored 55 Bel Air convertible for the airplane in 96. Wish I had the cars back.

That is really an interesting project Cecil... I can't even imagine how big a project it is to restore an airplane. My hat's off to you!!

Thanks guys but I wouldn't call it restored. It's a reassembled pig with lipstick. Looks good on the outside but still old zinc chromate, hydraulic fluid and dust on the inside. Just can't seem to get it cleaned out right.

Beautiful job....congrats !!!!!

I just look at them and dream.
My second favorite website is Courtesy Aircraft Sales.....they deal mostly in warbirds and trainers.....there are a couple of T-28's on there and yours would fit right in there with that new paint !!!
I think my favorite would be a Stearman.

Is your other plane also a T-28?
