[QUOTE="Taylorman55, post: 216770, member: 1290"] Toby, Dad has been an A&P for over 40 years. Graduated from A&P school in 76' in Fargo. Went to work immediately for Cessna out of Minot, and to date is still the youngest (19 years old) head mechanic Cessna has ever had running a fleet of over 30 airplanes. Aviation went belly up early 80s so dad went to a small shop based out of Rugby for awhile. Aviation was still in a nose dive during that time, and the coal fired plants in Beulah came along. Was a no brainer to jump ship at that time. Dads been a mechanic at one of the plants now for 35 years and is on the verge of retirement. He's restored an airplane every few years on and off the last 35 years while being in Hazen and has kept up on his work. He works strictly with fabric and has been asked by some of the big namers in the state to do fabric work on airplanes after he retires, although I think he is going to stay with his own projects for now. There's legit less than 8-10 guys in the entire state now that do quality fabric work. All of the work on the Supercub will done out of his garage, just like his Tcart he did a few years back. Next year will be out of his new shop he's having built, so it should be a super nice work area for him. But yes, absolutely everything about the restoration will be done in house by us. [/QUOTE]
