At Last, They said it couldn't be done but N122DP after a second crash has been restored. Fuselage was stripped and damaged tubing replaced, covered with polyfiber. Two wings from a parted out Speedster were completely redone including a fuel tank in each and nav and strobes in each. Carbs and drive unit on a 912UL done by Lockwood, lower unit and Cylinders checked out by So. MS Light Aircraft and a new IVO ground adjustable prop.

Took two years to get FAA registration and another 8 Months to get Airworthiness Certificate with the help of a Team Kitfox contributor. Just took persistence and providing all that was required regardless.

Anyone facing this I would be happy to share my experience.

Going on the trailer to the airport monday. Deep breath!!!

Congratulations Bud! Quite an endeavor but many following behind you will navigate easier since you have set another precedent. Nice job. Pic?
