N26392: Cheetah Restoration

In hindsite, I should have installed an O360. It got everything else.

This began as a clean 1400 TTAF Cheetah. Things the owner wanted that I would have done differently: he kept the plastic wheel pants; wanted: too much padding on the interior and a vinyl headliner; kept the old style seats; picked a 'too shiny' powder for the instrument panel; had Kraco paint it.  Kraco oversprayed the entire engine compartment, painted over all of the new hardware and (silver) powder coated elevator brackets, and did a marginal paint job.  Other than that, it was a great project.  I worked on it for over a year.  It was sold to a guy in Half Moon Bay who didn't think I knew what I was doing.  I haven't seen it since.
