![Default](https://www.homemadeturbo.com/images/icons/icon1.gif)
here is my latest poject at work
this planes engine quit and the guy landed in the grass on an interstate highway. the ground was soft and the landing gear broke. then to top it off this part was severly damaged in shipping to us for repair.
we have the rest of the plane but this is the only part that is finished right now
i dont have any before pics but the pics start with cutting things open to really see the damage and then the repair process.
the small perfectly round holes were cut for acess with a borescope to look for internal damage. this part did have one of the wooden ribs broken loose. the bigger square hole was cut to have access to make the repair

i could make doors if i had enough interest. is that what you are getting at? i could do an empty shell pretty easily. then you just cut holes for hinges and latches. i dont have the time to do bolt on doors
