Beautiful work! It reminds me a great deal of a Great Lakes or WACO-what's the engine and horsepower because it sure sounds healthy. :D :D

You'll have to replace that Stearman hat ! :lol:

Seriously. That looks and sounds amazing!

I'm about a month away from launching my Tigermoth restoration and I can totally relate to the feeling of peaking anticipation!

Play safe and have fun!!!!
