It's getting better

All the bent parts are now straight. There is one piece of tubing that has to be welded in. The ole one has been cut out and the new one formed to be welded in. The hard part was convincing Dale he HAD to crawl into the fuselage to straighten out the square 1/4" metal formers around the baggage compartment. See the pictures to see how happy he is.
The wing bow brackets were bent just a little bit and straightened right out and when reinstalled it took the wrinkles out of the top of the wing. Go figure. Course it now needs to be patched. The back seat area wrinkles came out with a little heat gun action. At this point we are waiting for the parts to come in to start the patching

I thought Doug was going to have to attach the block & tackle to the rafters to get me out. It seems I was between a pipe and a hard spot.
