Oscar was having trouble getting this photo to post to the net so he asked me to make it available for all.  I'll include his short post.

Bouyea and I had a lot of fun reassembling this little bird, and I may try to clean up the engine and start it up.  I've got a prop I can bolt on and we looked at the distributor and it was clean and dry inside.  Clean oil showed on the dipstick and the engine turns over, so maybe it'll rumble again.  The plane will never fly again (or should not fly again), as there are too many rusted fittings and parts, the fuel system is atrocious, and one or both wings were filled with water so the spars alone would be enough to condemn the craft for flight.
