Good maintenance shop for C170

Post by fullthrottlepilot »

Does anyone have Jim Musgrove's contact information?

Also looking for recommendation for a shop that specializes in Cessna 170s and can do restoration work, preferably in the northeast but considering anywhere in the country. Thanks!

Steve Noyes is in MA and specializes in Birddogs, but is a phenomenal sheet metal guy. I’ve seen what he’s created out of something that most folks would have tossed and it’s amazing. He’s right on par with Del Lehmann for his ability to work magic on something that most wouldn’t even consider turning into beer cans.

Greg Hren is an A&P in MA as well and specializes in Cessna taildraggers.

Del Lehmann and Brett Ham at Mountain Airframe, Mena Arkansas.
They have a long list of 170s under their belt, including mine.
