I have read that the surface preparation for the metal-to-metal bonding is the most critical part in making it hold. Since I was able to seal off the back and do the alodining the correct way, for $300, why not? The guys doing the alodining had a lot of buckets of various solutions, acids, washes, and stuff. The whole process only took about an hour.
Is there a market for a tail dragger? Probably not. It isn't likely there are 10% of the Grumman community that have tail-wheel endorsements. I want a tail-dragger; if only to see how much faster it is. Is it worth it for a couple of knots? no. But, if I can squeeze 10 knots out of it, to me that's worth it.
