Nathans F15A Resto

[Jacques Reed]

Hi Nathan,

Welcome to the forum also.

Good advice from Richard and Phil. Bits are often left behind especially doors. I found one in a loft in a suburban workshop in Moorabbin Vic.
the crane truck was in the yard and the door was an inconvenience to open and close for the operator so into the loft it went.

Photos are one of the best tools. When I started my restoration there was only 35mm film around and at 50 cents per print one was judicious with the use of the camera.

Now thanks to digital cameras I take stacks of photos of everything I do, plus the date on the photo's file information is a good automatic log. It is amazing what you can forget even after a few weeks away from a disassembled part.

Nice little F-15A. Small enough to work on in an 18' x 24' shed which is one of the reasons I chose that model to restore also.

As you proceed with the restoration enjoy the ride!

Cheers,
