Found this pic of an FG-1D Corsair that was being restored at the National Warplane museum. It is not there anymore and was wondering if anyone here knows what happened to it?

Kevin Hooey sold the FG to Duane Doyle in Calif who has it under restoration along with a second Corsair.

I thought Kevin's was an F4U-4? Is that true?

I think he had parts, or the spar, or some such from a -4.

This project is now with Jim Tobul, and I'm interested to know just what it consists of.
