More complex inside that wing than one would imagine. Some of the stuff I’m seeing looks kinda dismal in some areas, but seems to clean up pretty good. Not sure how you clean some of the areas, especially when it looks like you would have to take it apart to do so. Seems to be coming along fine though. Do you expect the other wing to be similar in condition?

Dismal is pretty harsh Ed. The plane is over 70 years old. I would expect the other wing to be in the same condition.

Forgot to mention, one of the areas you fixed (one of the first pictures) looks like a rifle cartridge showing the primer and back end. Ha! Another amazing thing I didn’t realize was that you are able to get parts from Aurora, Co.! Did they manufacture the airplanes there too?

It’s a close tolerance bolt head. Does kind of look that way.

Univair is the type certificate holder for the Stinson and has many parts for the 108. They are very proud of their parts and I use them when I have to.
