Gene and Gene and John, you guys are right, of course. I was simply going to ask him a couple of questions that would have brought him to that conclusion all on his own. I truly believe it is more difficult to take a used airplane and make it like new than it is to start with a box of sticks and do it from start to finish. I'm guessing that since the OP says he is not that good at covering, he doesn't realize what a monumental job he is asking to be done. And that is exactly why the guy needs to sit down with someone he knows and the two of them do this.
