Green one is my buddy’s. I sold this other one to my neighbor so we have 3 of these locally to play with.

Did it originally have 6 cyl Rangers? Who did the conversion? Mines a dean frankin io-470 conversion. Green one is a McDermott io-470 and the orange one is a McKinnon go-480

I used Plane Schemers and Fosters in Lakeland to paint it owner assisted. I did most of the prep work and did the fabric work. Jet Glo paint, sealed all the seams. I rebuilt the gear and did the windows myself with my mechanic supervising. Biggest task was the cowlings. Has new Western Skyways motors and new Hartzells. Lesson is buy one already done if possible, I have 4000 hours of mine and paid labor in this project. Next task is installing the interior which is done.
