Hi Jim,
You're right, lots of work and money, but irreplaceable family history. Not too hard to do though, snoop the Gallery and you’ll see some bigger miracles happen. You have the vision, all parts are still available, there is no hurry, and this is lasting beauty. Irresponsible, money loosing, reconstruction, now that would be a waste of time, like this one [

Just think about it, have a look at the gallery, all perfectly normal human beings, restoring a piece of “family” history and if it wasn’t family history it will be after they are done.
You’re hooked, admitting is the hardest thing, and then the fun starts. Just get that truck in a container and start phoning around, if you can find/load another one or other goods for someone in the States it pays for itself. We have members “Down Under” that will help you find one.
Welcome at the Stovebold, you are family now.
Richard
