Your projects are a great example of One man's scrap is another man's treasure...
One neat idea I've seen is for the totally unusable stuff is, packaging it with a print of the finished bird. I believe the Smithsonian was selling fabric pieces (scraps)of famous aircraft, with a print of the finished aircraft, and a certificate of authenticity to help fund other restorations.
I for one would plop down $20-$30 for a picture or painting of one of my favorite warbirds that included a piece of UNUSABLE scrap from the restoration, and a certificate assuring me its not a piece of a beer can or something along those lines....
Other opinions?????
