Rob-
J-5 has lots of dust on it. I really need to get back to it. I have a cowl being built and the gauges at a shop for restoration. I think I have found an IA that will work with me on getting it finished up.
I keep debating weather to build it as an original J5-A or use the fuselage and build a PA-12 clone.
The only advise I can give anybody that is thinking about a project is to start with something flying and only take one part off at a time to rebuild.
My J5 was pilfered before I bought it......
