It seems to me, even though I have never done anything like this, that there may be another reason for being so secretive about his acquisitions.
Should they become so public there is also the chance that then the people with the NOS and parts and wrecks needed for patterns etc would know to up the prices they are asking for them as well. This would make the entire process of rebuilding them more expensive. a good argument there for gathering the parts before the aircraft but I doubt things would work that way.
Just a thought and probably wrong but it is an option.
As far as we all know he might be going a different path the mr Weeks and simply getting everything up, running, finished and under cover in one massive effort BEFORE opening the doors to the public rather than having to enlarge the hangar space continually, having people walking through looking at workmen restoring the exhibits, moving things to and fro while finishing off the exhibits, etc. Then there's public liability insurance. I should think that all of the above activities regarding work on the premises would up that cost a bit as well, if it is like here then that alone is possibly prohibitive in his budget
