yeah, I figure it can be rebuilt without too many problems....
I pieced together the nose (yeah-its ugly) so I can have an idea of how it was constructed.... It looks pretty basic.... just a layer of ply and some balsa...the cowl needs to either be replaced or somehow fused back together. (it split along the seams).

I guess that's the main reason I'm trying to identify the plane- so I can get a new cowl, and possibly some original plans...
