Nov 30, 2011 Thread starter #5 N Nxthanos Senior Airman 626 0 Jun 11, 2011 Guys...not everything in this world is about making every nut and bolt perfect. If you check the restore thread, I had to make due with materials that are available. The idea is to make a wreck look cool.

Nov 30, 2011 Thread starter #12 N Nxthanos Senior Airman 626 0 Jun 11, 2011 Thanks guys. To me its about making something out of nothing. You don't have to throw your old friends away, like Steve Austin, you can rebuild them, and make em better.

Dec 6, 2011 Thread starter #16 N Nxthanos Senior Airman 626 0 Jun 11, 2011 Thanks T. The plane is special to me, my father bought it for me in a woolworth's in brooklyn in 1969. That, and a spitfire. Bringing it back to life has much personal meaning for me.
