thanks for the replies. You have all helped quite a bit.
Still on the fence for this. I have such big ideas for it, but not sure about space and the magnitude of the task.

Are parts for the Big bolts that much harder to find vs the smaller ones?

As usual for most vintage stuff, around VT and the northeast supplies are limited, so prices always seem higher than those of you who are not in rust country.

keep the suggestions coming I am learning a lot already.
