Nice color choices. Someday I will have a plane like that!
Blue Skies and Tail Winds , great looking bird.
Looks terrific, it shows you take pride in your aircraft, I know a lot of people that don’t even wash there airplane at all or even dust it off. They just start it and fly, bummer..thanks and safe flying..
Great paint job, did you complement the interior as well?
Yes. We did the interior three years ago in silver and grey leather. My wife has some back issues, so I replaced the 1967 low back seats with taller seats with headrests from a ’77 Warrior. The seats have two densities of memory foam. Side panes are also the two tone leather. Replaced cracked plastic armrests with exact same shape (including screw holes) metal armrests from early ’50’s GM cars. We rapped them in the grey leather. Added about 2 pounds.
