Maybe this project should be titled THE ETERNAL PHOENIX Who would ever have thought after 21 yrs that this 170 would fly again Guess it just goes to show if a enough folks badger someone long enough good things will eventually happen Congrats Paul
Paul, I hope you send a copy of the photo, etc. to Jack and Sharon!
Ok, I'm trying to do this from my iPhone. My computer had an accident in bed. BL knows what I'm talking about.
In the pic above you can see the 2 orange pieces. Those are steel band clamps, they wrap around the tires and get bolted down with grade 8 bolts.
I don't know how long I have to edit/delete post here, so PLEASE if y'all see a picture of George skinny dippin in the Cossotot River when he and Jamie visited last summer, tell me ASAP. Tina says its a cute picture, and that's why it's still there. Sorry George. That water was cold wasn't it?
Really I've never tried to post links to a photobucket album before. And especially not from a phone. I'd like to think think the 5 picture links are the only ones you can see But if y'all want to see some really cool ones, PM me. No names or "N" numbers disclosed. Professional courtesy and that's a promise
I AIN'T NEVER WORN A DALE-EVANS SWIM-SUIT LIKE THAT IN MY LIFE!
I think you did great, Del. I particularly am impressed with that recovery-trailer you've come up with. (just another example of the kind of care Del gives a customer's property.)
