You know you'll get carried away, I had a similar idea to Skoti when I started mine, soon found myself zinc nickel plating everything in sight....and why not!

I dunno.
Hopefully I'm older and wiser now.
I love buying up other people's abandoned projects,  they're the only real bargains that I ever get.
How many times have I seen someone take a project totally to pieces, with big ideas about a concours restoration.
And never got any further, finally selling it off at an almost dead loss.
This one's got to be a rolling restoration
