That mustang was for Bob May of Winnipeg and is now painted as "City of Winnipeg Squadron". We did the fuselage components and interior rebuild work for the fuselage/tailcone only. Bob Odegaard built the wings and Mark Tisler @ TriState aviation is finishing up the restoration. It should fly sometime late this year.
Hope that helps.
