Beautiful work! It reminds me a great deal of a Great Lakes or WACO-what's the engine and horsepower because it sure sounds healthy.

You'll have to replace that Stearman hat !
Seriously. That looks and sounds amazing!
I'm about a month away from launching my Tigermoth restoration and I can totally relate to the feeling of peaking anticipation!
Play safe and have fun!!!!
