1992 Skybolt/Firebolt project for sale. $3500 or best offer

This project is basically firewall aft and is mostly complete. It is located in Vancouver, WA at KVUO. I can be reached at [email protected] or 316-928-1045

Details.

First flown in 1992

approx 280 hrs TTAF

Built and flown with Firebolt gear which caused lower longeron cracks. Aircraft disassembled and bungee gear mounts built by Texas Cubs. Then the project stalled. I purchased the project in Sep 2017, sold the IO-360 FWF and started to rebuild with IO-540. I have finally realized that I just do not have the time to finish this project.
