I'll do it. I should have taken some before photos, but it was in less than stellar shape. It didn't take much force to pop the firewall out by hand, as well as the former that the wing pins plug in to. As of right now, the fuse is entirely gutted, and I think I may build a new set of wings so I can make it a nosewheel airplane.

On that note, the retracts in the wings seem to be very nice. I'll get a picture of them to see if they are identifiable, and if a nosewheel counterpart is available. The motor needs to be gone through, and I suspect needs new bearings. As stated previously, the firewall and former behind it came out with very little force, which concerns me a little, as it looked as they were glued in with epoxy. All indications lead me to believe that this is an epoxy and glass fuse, so I hope that the old glue just wasn't mixed right.

I have to say, I'm really excited about this airplane, as it's a big shift from what I'm used to. Classic pattern planes are sort of hit and miss with me, but this thing is drop dead sexy. I can't wait to get it done and tear the skies up with it! Thanks for all your help guys, especially Chuck.
