So, it looks like we got ourselves a straight-tail/Omnivision Cessna needing a left wing and a fuselage (perhaps more).

The straight-tail/Omnivision fuselage only existed for two model years (D/E, '64 & '65). '63 and earlier had no back window, and in '66 they went to a larger door and a slant-tail.

A wing will be somewhat tough as well - The D/E models used manual flaps, not electric. And the cable routing was different than the earlier models (due to the back window). I'm not sure how much structure in the way of pulley mountings will need to change to convert a later electric-flap wing to a manual-flap model.

I hate to say it, but at first glance this aircraft may become a parts donor for lack of suitable repair parts.

However, the first few phone calls I would make would be to...

Wentworth, 1-800-4WENTWORTH

Faeth, (916) 368-1832

You might also try Rex Brandt in Clinton, IA. He got out of the A&P business and is now parting out aircraft:

Good luck!
