As far as good looking women are concerned there is no place on earth any better than the LA area. The place crawls with hard bellies. If you didn't recognize her you wouldn't look more than twice. The celebs know how to get attention and she is no exception. Worth a photo? Probably, but trust me, she puts her panties on one leg at a time just like you do.

Dan,

It looks like you folks are pretty well along with the heavy structure work, but can you use some 3/16th draw clecos? I sent a box to Gary for the B24, but still have some that are excess to my needs. I would be happy to send the wing some, or I could send more to Gary. I'd just like to see them go to people that could use them. Right now they are just taking up space in my garage.

Dan, y'all should take Rick up on his offer of sending you the clecos. He has been a great contributor to the B-24 project by sending us quite a few clecos and such. As you know, you can never have enough clecos laying around.

Thanks again, Rick!

Gary

Thanks for the offer Rick! We never ever have enough clecos around here! Anything that you can send the wing would be a big help. Another thing we always seem to need are hand clamps and C clamps so if anybody out there would like to donate those we would appreciate it. Anything you guys send us should be a write off for you as well so we both benefit. Here is our address.

More rivets. More bolts. More progress. God! If we could only work full time on her she would be up in no time. Patience my son, patience. Just a couple of more years and a big bag of money and we will fly.

Dan,

IMHO, whoever is taking your photo's has their thumb/finger over the lower part of the flash. The bottom center of every flash picture seems to have a semi-circular shadow... :shock:

All of the photos that you see were taken by the same numb nutted photographer(me). The shadow is caused by failing (or in my case being to damned lazy) to remove the lense hood. It shan't happen again.

Thanks Jessie! FYI the cleco picture was taken in 2005. I showed it so folks could see how many clecos it can take to do the job. We never seem to have enough of them.

Hi guys,

Work continues on the right wing as we prepare to reinstall the right main gear assembly this summer. If you have been following you will see a lot fewer clecos in these pictures. We had a four-man riveting tag team going and we filled a lot of holes! The cable riggers are doing great work and very soon we will install and hook up the rudders. She is looking more and more like a Mitchell.

I won't get back down until next week so look for a fresh report about Wednesday. The good news is that the Bearcat flew at the QB on Monday.

If he gave me a blank check for the Mitchell there is no telling what we'd do..
