What is that in your garage...It is not an Rv something, maybe a thorp mustang?Comment

It is an 1971 AA1C Grumman T-Cat, and it is my dads. It is kind of a family project. My sons, myself and my father all work on it just about every weekend. We are currently rebuilding/reskinning the wings. After those are finished most of the fuselage work will be done other than prime and paint. But there is still alot of work left. It was crashed (porpoised) late 70's early 80's. We think there was a strike prop. We just dismantled the engine to get it ready to send off for rebuild. One of the main mods we have done to the plane is convert it from a tri gear to a tail dragger. I am looking forward to finishing it up with my father.Comment

Hell yeah, those are great planes, I have a few hour in a cheetah but I always thought they would look great as a taildragger...almost like vans copied that design for the rv 6-7 series...fast wing on a modest engine. All it needs is a constant speed prop
The bike looks awsome, I am just always drawn to airplanes.
Keep the pics of both coming.
