Fabrication of Waco 10 cowl
We formed this cowl using our English Wheel and the original factory
drawings. Underneath the cowling is an OX-5 water-cooled V8 engine.
Fabrication of an oil tank
We fabricated and welded these Stinson Tri-Motor 6000A oil
tanks out of aluminum because the originals were unservicable
and of course unavailable.
Fabrication of engine nacelles
We hand formed these Kreutzer K-5 engine nacelles on our
English wheel and later swirl finished.
Rebuilt center section
We totally rebuilt this center section on a Fairchild F-45.
