RETURN TO CALENDAR

This is one of the best photographic documention of a Squarebird being restored.
Here is what it looked like 30 years ago before being transported in for restoration.
From there, you will see the engine teardown, rebuild, paint preparation, painting,
engine/tranny re-install, and interior restoration.
Thanks, Tom for sharing these great pictures.
