FM-2 Wildcats!

mustanglover · **Posted:** Thu Nov 12, 2009 10:34 pm

I am thinking about doing a blog here about our restoration of 3 FM-2 Wildcats over the next couple of years.

Could be a fun, and although drawn out, deal but it would not be a day by day type of thing. Maybe a week or couple of weeks type of deal if you guys would like that.

Lot's of work has happened over the last few months, so catch-up would need to happen of course.

Since I would not be doing this on a day by day basis, I would hope this could become a "sticky" so it would not get lost in the day to day great posts on this forum.

I guess what I am looking for is a gauge of how many people would like to see this.

So if you want to see this let me know. Or if not, let me know and/or keep silent.

I think that would be awesome! I would love to see that. I know that it takes a tremendous amount of time and effort to do, but it's well worth it.

I know Gary would be proud knowing that he established a trend and set a new standard in picture-narrative threads.

Do it for Gary (and us)!

Silly idea....absolutely nuts....no interest on these forums whatsoever, and I can definitively say I speak for EVERYONE on these forums since I know them all like I went to school with them, so just drop the whole silly idea......RIGHT!!!

So....when does it start?

Well he11 yeah post the goings on. It's either that or I have to drive 200 miles everyday to see whats going on, and with the price of gas and Obamba care that will get real expensive.

Would really appreciate you doing that, Mustanglover. Probably the first Wildcat "assembly line" in over 60 years.

Is this going to be something where ya'll might have projects for people that would drop in, say for a Saturday afternoon, to help out?

Three Wildcats! Sure, but is it too early to ask which FM-2's they are? Mustanglover you may need to change to Wildcatlover.

Such a silly question, new we will expect full histories of each bird, lots of walkaround, detailed pics of before, during and after, reconstruction of every major/minor/ subsystem. Very Cool!
