Dave--
I have photos of both of these birds, taken circa 1989 in the then-new "bomber hangar" at Geneseo. From what I'd heard they moved on quite a while ago. When I saw them the Spit, which had been a bubbletop XVIe, had been converted to a highback, and was in the early stages of rebuild; it did have wings on jigs nearby iirc (the fuselage-only project was the Matt Sattler XVI at Carp). The Buchon was just sitting there at the back of the hangar, on its gear, sans cowling and wings.
