Almost hate to admit being on HBA Forum for years and just noticing this area...BUT...I am 3 months into rebuilding an incomplete and hurricane damaged Early Bird Jenny. 3 wing panels are 95% rebuilt with new ribs as needed, trailing edge spars and trailing edges and so on. I do have a Facebook Group for this project- "Steve's Early Bird Jenny Gen-1 Rebuild (https://www.facebook.com/groups/2300835403606217)" for almost a daily update of the progress.
Starting now...
The wings were originally built without the 1" trailing edge spar which I am adding along with new trailing edges and wing tips. Replacing ribs as needed.
Wing panel #4 was never built, nor was the center section. Only some wing strut attach fittings were made- really there is no logic as to the original builder's process. Fabricating the missing attach fittings is next so I can build the Center Section and strut fittings on the fuselage.
