I'm just glad to hear that Kevin is still in the game! I hope someone can take the remains of that -4 and try to do something substantial with them. There wasn't much there to build on. Just the substantial remains of a center section and some spare assemblies and parts.
I suppose the extra FG-1D spar was the sweet spot in the deal (and possibly the -4's available identity). It was between the party on the Left Coast and Jerry Yagen as to who would get the main spar, and Mr. Yagen passed on the deal last September (to supplement his broken F4U-1D project) after looking over the bits. Let's hope that the -4 remains will become the centerpoint of of a new restoration rather than becoming just another doomed parts donor airframe.
Another good excuse to visit California in the near future I suppose ;)
