Good job of documenting. Glad to see someone else with the passion to keep these old vets alive. After seeing yours i wish I had the opportunity to retain my original markings. Mine had several thick coats of paint on it inside and out and eventually had to be sandblasted to bare metal. I think the experience with 3 window cabs help inspire them to get 5 window one for safety alone. I found the flightline is an always will be a dangerous place with lots of expensive things to run into. I admire your tenacity in tracking down former owners and painstakenly restoring the markings especially on the dash.
