I don't think restore is quite the word... Ever see a B-25(um, or other aircraft...) using pieces of a bulldozer on the landing gear, and a couple acetylene cylinders for JATO thrust? I hate to imagine... Better yet, McGyver... three paperclips, a wad of chewing gum, an old inner tube, and a couple pencils, and voila- working Wright or P&W radial...

All right dudes! you teased us with this post, now come clean and tell us the truth. Was there to many Bandido's to pay off to acomplish this deal?
Are did it take place and the paperwork aint caught up yet! (was there paperwork?) To many pesos and to many palms to grease?

I think Mr. Dave was winging his way to Afghanistan or something. Might be a while before he is back to answer, unless they have computers over there or something.

Les Chapman Transport moved my plane. They came well recommended and seemed to do a good job.

I think the problem will be getting it to the border, not transporting it after the crossing. The Mexican movers went to the USAF Museum School of Aircraft Transportation and do a splendid job dismantling (no chainsaws, they can't afford them, they just use mauls and not the airplane type but ax type) tie down with the finest quality bailing wire and duct tape and throw in what ever they can find for dunage and packing.
