Before starting Musclerodz, I restored antique airplanes and was a licensed A&P/IA (still A&P) doing maintenance. I was going through old floppy discs tranferring old pics to modern storage and ran across some of my old work. Thought some here might enjoy.

Stinson SR-9E I went to South Dakota and ferry home for Australian client.

here it is again sitting next to the Bellanca 14-13-3 we flew up to pick the Stinson up

Waco Custom Cabin C-6 a friend started and we painted it, overhauled the engine and finished

Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for sharing Mike. I don't know much about airplanes but I enjoy seeing the old ones.

Good stuff Mike, love seeing the older stuff.

As an engine builder I especially like the lil engine stand with the 360 on there.
