 |  Airplane restoration A friend recently purchased a 1967 Cessna 210T. The engine is new and it has a brand new Garmin 530 and stack. It has been very well maintained. I just got done picking him up at KSGU and on the way back he mentioned: "The plane flies really nice, but this new stack makes the rest of the dash look like crap, and the upholstery, and the seats, and the carpet....." Basically he is interested in updating the dash to a standard 6 pack, whoever did the install on the stack did a hack job. Also he wants to redo the upholstery and interior. He wants it to look nice inside and out. He also said that he didn't want "some guy" or shade tree mechanic doing it, but somebody with experience. He is not looking for the cheapest either. Can anyone recommend a company or individual that does this kind of thing?

| Re: Airplane restoration nah seriously, my friend redid the panel on his old 210...well he pretty much built the plane. But the panel looks really nice, your friend will end up with a lovely airplane.

It is the cure for the nasty old Cessna panel. Now I am free to buy an older one.

| Re: Airplane restoration That better be a personal plane, because making that kind of money back would be an interesting task.

 | Re: Airplane restoration I like that new panel. It kinda reminds me of the new older "new" Cessnas...
