the beds are pretty rare, just depends on how much you wanna spend and how long you wanna hunt for better replacements

are those punched holes in the rocket? hafta grind off the flared out parts, fill with weld ... works to hold a heavy copper spoon behind the hole to fill, weld won't stick to the copper and it wicks some of the heat away, altho those rockets aren't real accessible from the back ... damage isn't any worse than rust thru, but actual kinked folds are best cut away and replaced, unless you're into learning how to shrink

my long fleet was pretty battered when I got it, from repeated sideswipes both sides, took awhile to clean up, and had a good bodyman do the final perfecting - no pics of that one, but this short fleet was worked over into this, after the one creased skirt was replaced - anything can be fixed grin
