• Damage History? Yes. Here is what the owner has to say. Of note, he owns an aircraft maintenance facility.
• "From the 1965 337 it would appear to be ground loop repair in 1965, but that is just a guess. All the work was performed in appropriate jig fixtures and the result looks as good as factory. I found only three rivets that I disliked on the repairs, but the repairs are indistinguishable from factory work."
