So appreciative of the various people and companies that have been open to you filming these processes and posting on KZfaq for us to follow along. Thanks Glen for taking the time and energy to film and edit this journey ❤️

Glen, you are a marvelously industrious human.

Oh man i'd love to see a video with Flightchops, that would be so awesome

I worked in the marine electronics field for 40 years. Center console’s, mega yachts, and commercial ship’s. I had company’s cut parts out of different types of materials quite often. One company had a huge water jet CNC about 15 feet tall that could cut through some pretty thick stuff. In my case 3/8 aluminum. I knew a guy back then that wanted me to redo his panel on his twin engine. I told him no way! I was currently flying regularly at that time.

.......oh yes....you kept the clock! Awesome!

I think it's globally understated how valuable it is to work on your own aircraft like you are, knowing whats going on behind the panels gives you awareness of your systems and increases your chances when having to troubleshoot inflight.

Your opening, where you are walking in the dark, sounds cold. LOL

Love the cutting machine at the end, so satisfying to watch

Cool opening shot! It's neat to see the different kinds of lights.

I know absolutely nothing about a plane except walking on a Delta and sitting down but this has one of the coolest things ever. Save me a back seat on one of yall's trips Glen! Love this series!

I know nothing about aviation, but i find this serie so interesting ! The way you explain everything you do, and how you surround yourself with experts that share you passion, is a great recipe for your videos. Keep it up, can't wait to see this plane fly !

That bare aluminIum finish is really beautiful, panel looks good too, as an IT guy I would also check all the cable lengths with that panel.

You walking around in the dark with your light got me wishing i could do a light painted photo of that beautiful plane.

Man, I don't know how you can handle your cooking channel and this. I'd be eating running to get to the hangar everyday! Lookin good, cheers!

Very cool intro!

Really enjoy your channel. Retired A & P. Doing and excellent job of restoring the old bird. Can appreciate all the elbow grease that's gone into it so far. Going to be a really nice machine when completed. Looking forward to seeing the finished product.

I thought the opening of the video was the repo man coming to haul it away. :)

You're doing an *awesome* job, Glen! I hope maybe someday I can see her in person! And that ShopSabre 23 is hypnotic! When I was fabricating instrument panels for our experimental airships, the only tools I had were stone knives and bearskins!! Thank you for sharing your journey!

This is gonna be one sweet setup for an old 172👍

Glen.....absolutely love the opening scene. So happy for you!! Very very cool!!! Thanks so much for sharing this process. Exciting...interesting stuff

Glenn great video!'n

I think I've said this on every video you've posted, but that is going to be such an awesome plane when it is done.

When you do get to the point of the first flight- I know it would make for a LONG video. But I would love to see a start to finish, uncut first takeoff and flight!

Incredible project Glen. I have watched from the first and am looking forward to it's completion. If you fly down to Oshkosh Airventure July 26-August 1, PLEASE let me know, I would love to pop in and see you and Jules. I am a foodie so that is where I originally found you. Congrats on the progress!!!

Love the update can't wait for the next.

Great quality as always Glen!

Thank you for another great video. I finally received my cap yesterday and it is fantastic.

What a cool opening

Makes me want to finish my PPL! I love the videos Glen

Hear me out. How neat would it be if Julie showed up in one of these episodes with leftovers from the cooking show. “Hey Glen, Hey friends! I brought you and Scott hot dog soup leftovers”.

looking really good !

In my grumman AA1 if I need to do extensive panel work I just take the windshield and seats out makes life SOO much easier

Really enjoying this series and am looking forward to your future adventures. There is a soft spot in my heart for the 172, my first solo was in the USAF T-41 version May 2, 1970. Blancolerio channel just did a review of a brand new 172 that stopped by Nevada City airport on a ferry flight to the new owner, almost half a million dollars! Looks to me you are getting just as much capability in your build. Side note, it had an AOA indicator very similar to the one on the T-38, up down arrows with a green on speed “doughnut” in the middle, sensor on the right wing in a similar place as the stall warning sensor in the left wing, possible future upgrade?

Can't wait to see it all put together in it's place, it must look fantastic

I'm selfishly bummed out how well this project is going because it means it will be over sooner rather than later 😅

Absolutely love the idea of an acrylic (temporary) panel. Is it legal to have a (permanent) acrylic panel?

Glen, have you given her a name yet ? Dama de plata, Explorateur de la brousse, L'aventurier

You have a ton of patience to put something like that together twice.

Probably too late but I would make those USB ports Type C

Looks fantastic! Curious what you guys are using for certification for the panel? Would love to do the same and replace all the old plastic trim panels.

What make are your new switches, Glen?

Hi Glenn, is it too late to get a hat? Nice airplane.

It looks like you went with the smaller screen. Was that due to size limitations of your model?

Spot for future Dynon autopilot?

Interesting everything’s in inches. I thought Canada and aeronautics generally were metric?

I would like to do the same panel for my 172 A, could you give me a break down on cost for the nav and instruments and install? If you don’t mind me asking

What's in an "IFR panel" that the PFD's can't do?

Hey @Glen’s Hangar, both wingtip lights appear to be red. Isn’t one of them supposed to be green? (On the port side IIRC.)

That intro was a bit dramatic and i am here for it! If your video where you show us the final result is not like that, then i will be mad! Jk jk

Was the landing light only on the L.H wing?

Glenn what made you & want to buy airplane and restore it?

Watching the CNC do it's thing, it looks like on both sides of the panel it cuts out smaller rectangles, then later comes back and makes a larger cut around the outside. Anyone know what's going on there? Is it making mounting brackets for smaller components that go into the larger space?

Excellent, your poor wallet 😂👍

4:40 *do not* drop that :-)

🤓🖖👍👌✌😎
