Do it. Do it now.
Why are you still reading this? You should already be en route with a trailer.

Burn the fire.

Do it. Now. Pieces of history like this duck are becoming so scarce. Also, don't be concerned what the girlfriend thinks. If she wants to make it to the next level she needs to appreciate and support your passion for restoring old artwork. If you have the money and space you should be clearing a space in the (shop? Living room? Kitchen?) For it.

All these posts and not a single request for a pic of the GF. Even if you disregarded the PPOT unanimous recommendation, the translation: her reservations are a non-factor.

i want it. will see when i get there. i have the money. but there is a limit as to what my skill level can handle. i've had good luck putting old bikes back together. but there have been a couple i wish i'd never gotten involved with. hard to tell until you've laid hands on. and often not even then.

No camping planned for this weekend, so I'll be in Anchorage if you need help. But it sounds like you have this under control.

If it makes you feel any better, your girlfriend may buy a purse for 3 grand in the future.
