Thanks again Nate for talking to me and for your suggestions re: moving the 1946 C140 I just bought! It’s restoration is going to be extremely similar to yours, I believe. (Every bolt, from the ground up, and hasn’t flown in ~30 years.) Your video series has already been an inspiration and will hopefully guide and incentivize me on what I’ll really need to do to get this done!!
I recently saw your videos in my feed as I have been watching a number of aviation videos about restorations. I wanted you to know how much I enjoyed your journey with the 140. Truly a labor of love for an aircraft that turned out beautiful. I'm looking forward to your next project. Well done sir!
As a AI for 45 years, I love paperwork, on my notes, I keep them all and just put C/W, when done. Nice Job, My 120 project is 3 years in the making, since I am retired now, I have more time for my projects now...............
If you don’t like paperwork as an IA, you should probably give up your IA! Ha! I hope to be retired someday as well and have more time for restoration work.
I enjoyed the heck out of the 140 project! It was special for me because I learned to fly powered aircraft in a modified Cessna 140B. Can't remember the names of the mods, it was my dad's airplane, but it had a Lycoming O-235 engine and a larger tailwheel. Can't wait for the 180!
@@hiebertaviation last I heard, but I don’t know where. He decided (had me on the airline pilot path - like him) to sell it and buy a C-182… I never got over missing that 140! It was starting to show a little corrosion in the aft fuselage
That 140 is a show winner! I wish I could afford to give you an offer on it, but that build is priceless! Way to do it the right way, and I look forward to the 180!

Certainly appreciate you watching the videos. That’s great to hear about your dads airplane. Is it still around?

Thanks for the kind words. Stay tuned for the 180, it’s going to be fun!
More of the work you’re doing and less close ups of you talking about it would be great. Anyway nice work
Need any help. I have a lot of time on my hands. I think?
