Hello all:

I just want to take a moment to say hi and to comment what a wonderful Forum this is. It is awesome that so many share their knowledge and give of themselves so unselfishly.
What brings me here is that I have just acquired a frame of a 1969 Bonanza BC1400T. The previous owner had it powdered coated, but thats all that I have and will be my starting point. I would like to think i can do a factual part-wise restoration, (knowing perfection is not possible), and with your all help hope to have an enjoyable project going forward.
I have started reading some of the posts in order to gain a sliver of knowledge to start.
So thank you all in advance,

Cheers
Bernie
