That is so cool. Thank you for sharing. I'm looking forward to future updates and especially seeing photos when it flies again.

After 20 years in US Navy Aviation, warbirds are one of my things. Nothing that old of course but I worked on MANY different aircraft from F-4 Phantoms to FA-18 Hornets. And some odd ones when stationed at the Navy Test Pilot School.
These are great photographs of a great airplane. Thanks for sharing these. I would love to see the finished product.
A friend and I actually found the remains of an F-4U in the jungle on Guam many years ago.

Great set Ron. That is some project to take on. Look forward to seeing more photos as the restoration progresses and the ultimate completion, and then that old warbird takes flight again.

Very good series of great work, Ron. Restoring or building a whole new plane, that is the question?

Wow that's an amazing undertaking, SX. It will be great to have a photo record of the restoration. Will it be a museum completion or is the objective a flyable plane. Either is a great task.

This is what I would call, dedication. Wow, you guys are doing a great job of restoration !!! The pics are great.

What a joy it is to see these types of restorations all over the world still taking place. The amount of man hours in such a project is enough to cause one to think otherwise, so hats-off to you & your mates for doing this.
The Corsair is a classically beautiful aircraft and should make a great addition to the Museum.
Good luck and keep the pictures coming as you progress.
