P-51 “Precious Metal” volunteer offering

Want to work on a P-51? Want to work on an air racer? Here is your chance.

Ladies and Gentlemen,

The annual winter rebuild of Precious Metal started today. If you’d like to join in the efforts of an Unlimited team, please e-mail thom@race83.com

Though we have all required skills on the team already, the following would come in handy: Composite, sheetmetal and bondo/paint. Although the only real requirement is enthusiasm. We can train anyone…

The airplane is located at the Kissimmee Air Museum in central Florida.

Thanks!
