Sky Siren

This TravelAir D4D Speedwing is in for fabric and paint. Obviously not a typical TravelAir paint scheme, but period correct and quite stunning. Miles and miles of masking on this beauty.

Waldo's Seaplane

Waldo Wright has decided to get his feet wet! Later this fall, we'll be doing our magic on his TravelAir E-4000, getting it installed on floats and ready to start giving seaplane rides. This will be fun!

Glenn's TravelAir

Simple and light. That's where we're headed with this restoration. No fancy paint schemes this time. Orange and Blue, just the way it left the factory. With 220 Continental for power, this one will be one nice flying airplane when we're finished.

TravelAir B9-4000

NC9915 is a 1929 TravelAir. Currently registered as a model 4D, it originally left the factory as a B9-4000, meaning it had a 300 hp Wright J6-9. Our plan is to restore the plane back to it's original B9-4000 configuration. Purchased several years ago from a friend and fellow enthusiast Joel Harris, we've been slowly collecting all the miscellaneous bits and pieces required. Now that the Hatz is finished, it's finally time to get started. Check back, more pictures will be added as we progress.

Model A Hot Rod

Ok, so it's not an airplane project, but it is old, it is cool, and it's in the shop, so here it is. I've had this 1931 Model A Roadster for several years now. While it was a fine car in it's stock condition, it was no show contender and what I've always wanted was a highboy roadster, so here we go.......
