What happened to the P-38 components?

Just wondering if anyone knows whatever happened to the P-38 components that were at Tom Reilly's place in Kissimmee a few years back before he closed up shop there?

Reilly had parts from a couple of P-38's... but I think you mean this one... P-38L 44-53242. I'm not sure where she is now, but rest assured, she will be rebuilt if she isn't already under way already.

Cheers,
Richard

So, what happened to the rest of Rielly's collection? The F-101, A-4's, Kestrel, Privateer body, etc....
I had been away from there for sometime and heard that they closed up, but no one knew where everything went.

I was thinking (a scary thought) maybe the components found their way out to West Pac Restorations to be used in the 2 P-38's being rebuilt there.
