    Hello all Taylorcraft fans,
    My name is Jerry from Elk Grove, CA. I am a recent and new proud owner of a 1940 Taylorcraft BL-65 restoration project that I just picked up from Truckee, CA. least weekend. The plane was undergoing a full ground up restoration when its owner sadly passed away from cancer and I purchased the project from his wife. The project is complete (I think) except for the prop. Engine was upgraded from Lycoming to Continental C-65 in the mid 50's. I have logs for airframe and engine dating back to 1947. The plane is still registered with the FAA and I have applied for my registration.
    Fuselage restoration was started and cover with Polyfiber only up to Poly brush stage. Wing are disassembled, but new spars were fabricated and already drilled and varnished.
    All work was performed by A&P and looks to be very clean. I am looking forward to get started on this project but need technical assistance and since I do not hold an A&P license will need IA or A&P suppervision and sign offs.
    The plane is currently in my garage and plan on working on it there until it is time to spray and reassemble the plane.
    I am, looking for an A&P who is familiar with this type in the Sacramento, CA. area willing to provide project supervision and sign offs.
    Thanks
