Go easy on the lad, he is only trying to gain experience and he sounds like a fine chap to me. By the way, I too would like to be involved in a project like Rusty has in mind, but I would also like to stay married!
I am a little too far away from your neck of the woods to offer any practicle advice Rusty, but only this:-
If you want to become a millionare, start of as a billionare and take on an aircraft restoration project! It aint cheep and it aint for the faint harted either, and it can take several years of blood, sweat toil, tears and domestic difficulties before the fruits of your labour are completed. Good luck any way
