If you would be in the market for a boat stage KR1 that has been done rite with tons of extras, ( Sort of as a parts spare ) I have almost everything you need to finish the air frame. At a price that could save you several thousand. And I might even be able to deliver it for just travel expenses. This could be a cheap way to put your restoration into fast forward. And I guarantee you won't be disappointed with the workmanship on this project.
