I think they were hacked off long prior to 74, in fact not long after it was bought at the surplus sale. They did that to make it easier to barge over to Saltspring iirc. I think 74 is about the time the wing was changed out.

Yes, they were removed when originally transported to Saltspring Island to clear telephone poles. He had bought replacement wings in the early 60’s and had them installed in 1974.

Just read the newspaper clippings included in the p-40 website link posted by nirvana...the original owner paid $50 for the surplus plane and they are now asking $1.8m. Even with the cost of the 1970s resto, talk about some serious ROI!
