When I get done with this it will look like new.

As i have 0 mechanical ability my recent hospital stay I watched vehicle rebuild shows with fascination. Some I thought just crush em and son of a gun they turned them into things of art.
But more often than not jerks did sloppy previous repairs like you mention and it created much more work for the guys.

Have you seen the price of those older rigs all cleaned up and beefed up? Holy sheet through the frigging roof. $$$ $50,000 and up for the early ones 1970s into the early 80s or so?

I went with a buddy looking for one in the 70s hell I think they were under or around $4,500?
Young Mex. up the road here has one like decked out to the max I don't think he could put another toy on it. He told me he paid in the $80s with all he had in it.
