    I'm glad that there are people out there who restore things back to fantastic and new condition, too many times I tossed things out even though I didn't want to, because I lack knowledge of how to fix it, and skill.

    WOW! You've got ALL the toys...and I'm not talking about the things you restore! CAD program, CNC, 3-D printer, lathe, all the Dremel stuff, welder, professional spray booth with filtration, sandblaster, oven for curing powder coat paint....I love it, and am partially jealous...(although I lack the math skills it takes to use the first three items I mentioned)...
