I'd like to get a better look at your wheelpants someday, take some profile photos with a tape measure in the picture, so I can compare them myself to the Taylorcraft wheelpants, and see if they really are the same.

Welcome to our Porterfield Club. Looks like we might eventually get everyone interested in Porterfields from Upland to join. Make sure you post some more photos of your CP-65. It looks real nice with the wheel pants.
