Restoration Services 

Waldo enjoys a good challenge!  When COVID hit with a vengence, it seemed the best thing to do for the business at the time was to implement our "PLAN B".  That plan essentially transitioned our  full time ride operation/part time restoration shop to a full time restoration shop/part time ride operation.  The decision to remain a restoration shop full time was announced July 1, 2024. The practicality of the conversion proved to be a valid way to maintain sustainability during the pandemic, but evolved into a stronger business than we ever expected! Due to industry standards that significantly impacted the ride operations, it turns out this transformation was the solid decision that needed to be instituted.

It became obvious the restoration shop is our future, the ride operations are our past, and the present services we offer include:

• Frame up restoration services
• Pre-Buy Inspections on Stearman, WACO and Travel Air flyers or projects
• Annual inspections on Stearman, WACO and Travel Air models only (must participate in an interview before we accept the work)
• Monthly billing statements on work performed
• Project transparency
• Private tracking of your project real time through iPhone Shared Albums
• Hard copy documentation of all restoration invoices from vendors available to clients at any time
• IA sign off on all projects
• Aircraft/project pickup and delivery services 
• Owner Assisted Restoration- YES! You can work alongside Waldo as often as you like
