Looks great! Glad you kept it original.
I was at Oshkosh this summer. I saw a Cessna 150 that had been restored to brand new condition. It was absolutely beautiful. love anything old and restored.
Identical livery to my own C172D, before it was repainted! Wow…
🛩️ 2016 next to last Mooney TN made, ironically the last one also was located in KILG
Looks sharp!
Would you mind sharing the name and location of the shop and feed back if possible. I’m looking for a shop to get my 172 painted.
