That's what I was noticing...Looks like an experimental Champ derivative, and a pretty one at that. Everything but the turtledeck (or lack thereof) says Champ.
Knowing KEYQ, that was a heck of a job. There's very little around that airport that's even remotely safe for engine out. Sad he hurt his plane, but the good thing is no injuries and no other property damage. nicely done.

And he ended up in a parking lot 9 miles SE.He flew out of eyq. It's off 290 in cypress
That plane was well known in the Aeronca community. Experimental, along the lines of the Citabria Pro, called Junkyard Dawg. The builder sold it two weeks ago to the current owner.
No prop damage so it looks like a bona fide engine out landing.
Fixing the aircraft doesn't look like a big deal.
carb ice?
I don't know, in addition to an engine tear down, new prop, landing gear repair, doesn't it look like the spar might be bent/broken? Looks like an insurance write off too me.
