Rumored to by Jimmy Graham's new ride.

Rumor confirmed. It IS his new ride.

Yet another beautiful Kenmore Resto.

And here I though it was a thread about a lady who's had too many lovers....

Now he can fly to practice.

Awesome video. I wish I knew how to restore stuff like that.

Write checks.

Man O Man what a nice ship. A guy ought to have a little cash for this stuff

I like Jimmy Graham too. He's a class act and a tough dude… good for him.

Write checks.

With their mods and upgrades, Kenmore literally makes these Beavers better than new. I wonder what they charged for this? My guess with amphibs, $600,000 - $700,000.

All kidding aside I admire the ability and passion that people who can do things like this have. I don't have those abilities or passions for the work itself. I do appreciate the end result. I'd rather do something I am passionate about to be able to write them checks. It's not the easy way out. It's just the best way - for me anyway.

Nice plane. Surely north of 1MM

Good morning BT,







Agreed.

I am mechanically inclined. Which is to say that I am great at taking stuff apart. I am good at putting it back together with a little help.



But this...

This is mechaincal art at its finest.

This takes the best mechanics, the best design engineers, and the best artist to produce a fine piece like this.

I would love to have any of those skills.

Maybe someday...



Thanks for posting!

Amazing. True work of art. Every skin panel.....wow.

I love the plane but gray on gray camouflage in the foggy Pacific Northwest what could possibly go wrong?

Kenmore probably is the best outfit if you are looking for a nice Beaver…

but my first thought, was exactly the same as yours…how in the world would an owner want to camouflage a bird like that….?

most of Kenmore's Beavers are bright yellow, for a reason..

that bird may be excellent technically, I have no doubt about it…

but the paintscheme is "braindead" from a safety point of view...
