not to sound like a wise guy in anyway, but, holly sh^t John!!!!!!!! I hope you are retired because this is going to take SOME Time to do. What is your window here for completion date or a special event date you are shooting for??

Great job in your reaching back into the past and linking/making the connection to todays standards/available processes for these restoration areas.

Keep up the great work!!

Not sure how I got sucked into reading this whole thread.

John,

When you get a chance, please post a picture of the case. I'd love to see what that looks like.

Those Ollies cases are amazing! Saw one at the 901 Shop here in FL and thought it was new from a crate. Its totally CHEAP to; $150 IIRC. Just have to ship the case there... They recommend doing it in cardboard and not wood. I wish i lived in Cali just so I could drive over and drop it off... but, from FL it makes more sense to use elbow grease ;)

Michael, shipping it (Via DHL, the only carrier I use) was about $50.

It left Ollies this week, I will have it next week!
