Blimey, that tailwheel looks like its gonna take no arguments from grass, shrubs and even small trees; looks like an Alaskan T3 spring ... your aeroplane paint scheme looks very clean Jeff. Nice.

It’s coming together, slow but sure...
Yes that an Alaska T3 shock spring with a Matco 11” tailwheel. Needed some weight aft due to the 340 so I figured I might as well make it useful weight!
Im painting lift struts this week so wings will go on this weekend!!!

I love that paint scheme. Of course I grew up in the Boss Mustang era, so it holds a special affection.
Nice work. Very nice work. I can hardly wait to see the finished product, and will be very interested to hear how that engine works out for you. Really a neat project.
Thanks for taking the time to post all of your progress.
A little more progress this weekend..
AND - I now have a tailwheel endorsement!

Hey Jeff, I think your paint scheme must be available again. I've seen a new Ford Mustang driving around in my area that is painted that color along with the black trim.
