Jim's Cessna 150E Project

Jim's 150E Project: Canute, OK, United States; Hello and thanks for checking in. My name is Jim and this blog will be about a project I am doing of rebuilding a 1965 Cessna 150E. I am a machinist by trade and I just recently went to Aircraft Mechanics school and earned my A&P License. My original plan was to get a job at Tinker AFB in Oklahoma City after the school was done due to the economy in 2008 and 2009 that about put me out of business in the machine shop. Well business got a lot better so Tinker AFB was no longer in the plans. Just before school ended a gentleman called my instructor and informed him he had this airplane project for sale and wanted to know if the school might be interested in buying it. They weren't but Marty, my instructor, passed the info to me to see if I would be interested. I was and now that project is sitting in my sons barn in Western Oklahoma. The plane is complete and undamaged. Just need rebuilding, painting and an engine overhaul. So check-in now and then and come along for the ride. Also if you know anything about these planes or the process of rebuilding one email me with your advice. All is welcome. Jim
