Before,
Welcome to the Stovebolt!
Now to reiterate what everyone is saying, this is the best site for people like us who admire, appreciate, and work on these old Bow Ties. There is a little for everyone's needs. If you search through the numerous posts, you will find what you are looking for. If you do not find what you are looking for, then post your questions or situation and I sure that there will be someone who will advise or direct you for an answer.
Money is always the deciding factor for any project. I am sure you have looked that over many times over. What ever route you chose, take it.
Now, my advice; take your time. The more people you meet, something will come along.
