Very subtle additions but enough to make a big difference!

Very nice Peter!

Peter superb work on the nosegear!

The idea of painting the oleo instead of just buffing it out sounds good and the addition of the nuts and bolts really improve the whole look!

Looking forward to more my friend!

Ernie,

  Pete and I use to ride our bikes there all the time and peer through the chain link fence that runs along Stewart Ave. I still remember having the film from my Kodak Brownie camera confiscated by the security guards. They did return the processed film and pics, so in the long run I got free processing and printing which must have been charged to the gov't. This was around 1964-5 when we were all of 16 years old.  Funny how I can still remember that, but I can't remember to take the trash out on the correct nights.
