Great video,
I had a very similar PA 28-161 project in my shop. It was flying until I discovered the R/H wing moved back and forth 1” when pushed on . Further inspection revealed the wing rear attachment channel, or intermediate bulkhead as you refer to it, was damaged the same as the one you have shown a photo of. Interesting as the damaged part looked the same between the two aircraft. The forward wing attach channel was cracked/ broken under the co pilots feet or seat location. We did airframe, interior, paint, and engine repairs somewhat similar to your airplane. The customer was involved putting in lots of hours so they were able to appreciate the hours and hours of time spent on the restore.
They are nice flying airplanes.
Love watching these restoration videos. I would like to see the work being done. Maybe setup a camera and record it?
What a great restoration job. I would really like to do something like this to our Cherokee 140.
I know hard to do, but can you please show video of you actually working on attaching the skins and completing the work on it, riveting etc even just small clips? I like the fact that you are restoring these planes, when everyone else just wrecks them. Also i want to see Sarah working on it in all the videos!!! ;)
Loving the videos. Can't wait to see the progress.
This is an awesome restoration can’t wait to see next video would love to do this some day would be a fun project
Roy these are great videos! I truly enjoy them. Thank you.
Looking great
Thanks for share, this is a great job that you’re doing.
One thing I have always wondered is: on parts like the corroded bracket at the corner of the main windscreen what is used to prevent corrosion from galvanic action of the two dis-simmilar metals (iron and aluminum). Is there some material or just the paint that isolates the pieces from the exchange of ions that would accelerate corrosion?
So much new stuff on there, can actually be scary.
Roy, I really enjoy the detail you go into. It may not be something you would be willing to do, but I would love a cost detail as well for the work you are doing. And is this cost effective for someone who doesn't own an aircraft shop?
Great video. I have also followed your earlier videos too. Would love to know a ballpark dollar amount of such restoration projects.
Did you replace the parts with all factory parts or did you fabricate some of these parts in house? Thanks for the videos. I am sure that I am not the only person that would be interested in videos of the replacement of all these parts.
Did you have to jig the airframe to change those panels?
I would like to restore a plane. I was a airframe and hydronic tech on the F14. I wish I worked have pursued my A&P, instead of pilot license first.
People neglect the roof mounting brackets, I've replaced many.
Are you going to show the Cessna 150 final video of the restoration?
where can I find a list of N numbers that you did this process too? What is the cost of this project?
I see better work on Race Car then the work done on airplanes WOW Pilots run and hide.
