From what little I know about this group, some are probably re-living a past life, while others are putting in a day's work, but aren't getting paid.? They really seem to enjoy being a part of reviving the old bird. As I understand their intentions, they intend to make it airworthy so they can obtain a ferry permit which will allow them to fly it to Florida where they will complete the restoration.
