Ken Peck's Cessna 140

This Cessna 140 project started as a wing recover and one thing led to another and before we knew it Ken Peck of Smithville TX had a new 1946 Cessna

  • This Cessna 140 project started as a wing recover and one thing led to another and before we knew it Ken Peck of Smithville TX had a new 1946 Cessna
  • The after picture of the instrument panel. Behind it is all new wiring . Got rid of the old fuse holders and installed circuit breakers.
  • Bulkheads removed, sheet metal cleaned up and ready for primer and reassembly with new bulkheads.
  • This is the holding fixture we used while replacing the landing gear box bulkheads.
  • We used Poly Fiber 102 material. We did the required repairs to the wing structure and then primed using Randolf Epibond epoxy.
  • Wing taped and up thru the Poly Brush stage.
  • Six coats of Poly Spray with a 600 grit sanding with water every other coat. then four coats of Poly Tone Rancho Silver.
  • Airtex wool headliner, dark tinted grey skylights and side windows are my personal preferences.
  • We fabricated the strut cuffs using a pattern from the International Cessna 120-140.org. The tie down rings are from Thompson Air.
  • Sky Catch door catches installed. This is a must have item . It's the most functional door catch for the money. Contact info on the 120-140.org site.
  • The base color is Aerothane Rancho Silver and the trim color is a '96 Nissan pick up color. Both are metallics.
