I have been looking for a straight 35 for several years that has not suffered greatly from a long string of well meaning owners. Most folks want the speed slope windshield and a different panel and later model interiors, hydraulic prop etc,etc. I prefer the "survivor" style.
I am happy to say that Mr Weeks will be delivering my new project in the next couple of weeks and I will begin the long tedious process once again.
My plans include the installation of a completely uncut original panel and gauges that I sourced from fellow Beechtalker, Dan Towery recently. The interior will be gutted and thoroughly cleaned up. I may choose to leave the current paint (great patina) if there is any evidence of hail damage otherwise I will strip it, polish it, paint it with the original color trim.
The wonderfully lightweight front seat will be recovered in the original material and the original headliner will be cleaned and reused if possible. I plan to leave the rear seat out of airplane and refinish new floorboards in a beautiful wood veneer. New sidewalls and rear cabin bulkhead will be fabricated and finished to compliment the original style seat upholstery.
The reason this project caught my interest is the incredibly low total air frame time. Certainly one of the lowest of any Bonanza in recent memory. The history of ownership in arid environments, complete log books, the lack of an auxiliary fuel tank in the cabin and the wonderful Beech 88 inch electric prop sealed the deal.
It will be a challenging project but I feel like the airplane has great bones and deserves a better fate than a parts donor.
I plan on taking a lot of pictures documenting the progress and sharing them here.
Wish me Luck!

Chuck, No Luck needed for You I'll be following your Thread

Chuck is my hero.

Chuck is my hero.

And Sven, Chuck will get er done too ........Did You happen to see that 56G he sold about 5 years ago that he restored

Since. I've been here, there have been two 1956 G Bonanzas come up for Sale, that were Stunning, If I hadn't already bought mine, I'd have bought either of them. One of them belonged to Chuck

For me , it all started with 5186c

1468tt , all original and I had to replace all …….


The year was 1993

In the 80”s , serial 9 was the project we went through
