Hi guys, yes this is Dr.Kobb's Mustang.This is not a restoration, but a repaint!! This Mustang was brought to our shop here in Breckenridge for annual inspection, corrosion was found in the lower longerons & she had to be de-mated.While this was going on Mr. Kobb decided to redo the cockpit and up-grade the panel.We completed this earlier in the year around april/may.If You get the chance to see the cockpit you will be amazed at the pilot goodies in the panel! Also Mr.Kobb is a really great guy to talk to about his 51!
Also, thank U Jim & Dan for the Air Tour info, looking forward to seeing the rare antiques.
