This is something i absolutely do not need to do.
Anybody in the atlanta area want to help me tackle it?

I commend You for even Thinking about it Rocky

Yes, logs are complete

Sorry for going MIA, probably not my brightest moment posting it right before OSH!!

I’m open to discussing it. I have already reached out to Matt on a offer I am 45 miles. North based at GVL. I think it would be a great project.

I’d love to fund it, but I don’t have time to do the work. Who would one go to for this restoration?

Hey Matt, I feel like there are a lot of options they just don't all make sense financially.
Some shops that come to mind are Biggs Aircraft, Blackwell Aviation, and Mountain Airframe. I also noticed you have KBJC tagged, if you wanted someone in CO Bob Brungard has lots of experience with Bo's. Also the logs are in my office at KGXY if you wanted to check them out

It looks like there may be another 1947 donor parts plane that someone began to rebuild but no longer has the time in ND as well. Between the two of these planes SN-6 could make a fantastic come back.

John, do you have details on that other plane?

Thanks

Asking price has been dropped to $15k to try and get this done

This may be something for Rebuild Rescue. They are doing great work on the 401!

I would not trust Jimmy’s World more than I would trust Johnny Knoxville and his crew. I understand that Elvis would have been a $5M restoral if they could find the parts and it still might not be airworthy. …but to do what they did to it killed me inside.

Working on getting the details. I know where its located and that he is currently trying to sell the E-225 on ebay and it looks to be in very good shape with logs. Trying to get photos on the rest of it. He has lost patience interest in it. Just makes sense to get both since they are in the same area if the price is good on each and between the 2 one would probably be a shoe in to complete.

Matt, My side hurtz
Why would you speak of making sense financially.

Do you really think one can't buy this for 15k, put 7k into it and fly it trouble free for the next decade

sometymz a post is so obvious green font is insulting to our meager intelligence.

Small rant: People! Besides your name you should at least list what state you live in!
I might wish to donate to the cause for the privilege of flying in this soon to be beauty ifin yu wuz to live anywhere close to my neck o the woodz.

I’m interested in helping on this project. I think John has some good plans regarding getting a second airframe included somehow.

Does anyone know the history on the plane?

Not logbook detail but big picture. Just curious about how this story came to this point.

Now that's a barn find. The parts look to be in good condition. Surely someone around here needs a retirement project!
