Ok guys, here is a most different project for me. My original PT Boat ride on toy went to Stan Pienkowski's house for a complete restoration job. I had always wanted to get this done, but with all the other projects I seem to come up with, and my PT-109 still in dry-dock at Stan's, the toy always seemed to come last. You will notice one of the photos contains an original photo of the toy in it's heyday. I was lucky to come across this on Ebay. Well, Stan has promised she might be done before Christmas, so here are the first of the photo's. Here we go again. By the way, as you recall PT-109, jumped on by our two Kamikaze Cats, is coming along, with just about all topside fixes completed. You should note, that Stan and I dropped it two weeks while inspecting the water line and props. This broke off the smoke generator, and rear flag supports, not to mention the two rear torpedo flasks. The course of the 109 continues...........

Better have Stan reinforce the frame if you intend to ride it down the sidewalk.....
