Apparently the work was already supposed to have been completed or started on or ground the aircraft. Tim Savage probably knows more about this than I do.

As far as I know Thunderbird has not had this work done and has been given a 1 year extension for whatever reason. She will be flying at Wings Over Houston this weekend...weather providing of course.

I know for a fact that Raiders is being worked on right now and she will be a long time, Nine O' Nine has had the work done, so has Miss Angela, Journey, and then like you said Memphis Belle is being worked on.

I would assume that Yankee Lady and Aluminum Overcast would not have a problem with this due to the fact that they are relatively new restorations. Boeing Bee probably falls under this as well if she is even leaving the ground. Picadilly Lilly will probably need this work as well and that is most likely one of the main reasons why PoF is having to raise so much money for her.

Thats all I can think of.
