Thanks for the input, Herb. The airplane is a working bird right now and for the next few years, but I also fly it for personal use occasionally and will likely keep it awhile for personal use after I quit the survey work. Considering that along with resale presentability, I don't want a Macco special, but it also doesn't have to be a pristine concours job.
For visibility purposes on the survey, right now I'm contemplating just plain white all over, with day-glo orange on the top wing fuel tank access panels; the airplane is military camoflage at present; a previous owner wanted a simulated O2.
The Sturgis shop is a good lead and not too far away although monitoring the progress would be a little difficult. I'll keep it in mind while I see if any recommendations come in for something out here in the east.
Thanks again-
Joe
