Here is how my workshop looked back in 1982!! Here is a partial list of aircraft in the photo's:

Sweetater
Gator Flea
Atlas
Trouble Maker (2)
Mach 1
UFO (2) - one is not yet finished in this photo
Dirty Birdy
Steen Skybolt
Cessna 182
FW-190-D9
Yak-18
Ryan STA
Own design -- Green & White fuse - next to Ryan STA
Bristol

that/s the before picture how about a now picture,

Unfortunately, most of those planes in the photo's are no longer in my possesion. Most were sold when I moved out of state back in 1987. Although, a few are still there. Those photo's were taken in my fathers basement. Some of the planes in the photo's are my fathers. We flew together for 17 years, then I moved out of state for work.

What's the plane with the paint scheme like a Curare in the first photo?

Maybe you already noticed this but I think that is his Atlas..I was thinking Curare too:
