Hi all, I don't know if this link has ever been posted on here before, but check out the work done by this guy in Illinois restoring this old workshop:-

Yeah......I found it in the Memory Lane section.
Read the whole thread over a couple of days. I'm almost addicted to reading through some of the other builds too...

Me too, I am only up to page 17 so far though. Hmmm, to have unlimited funds and time. They obviously pay pilots too much in the good old USA.

Interesting read. I'd be too scared to actually work in that garage though.
