My bud Jimmy really wants this restored. Of the Chatanooga piece, he is hoping to assemble one out of
the 3.5 he has on hand. That AHM CNJ blue thing is really bashed to smithereens, but Jimmy has a strong
desire to restore these pieces, regardless of cost, in memory of his cousin.
I tried to suggest that pieces like the Chatanooga could be purchased for $25 in pretty fine shape, but
he wants [i]this[i] one restored. I can sympathize, there are some pieces I'd sell a kidney to restore.
Anyone know a top shelf restoration guy? Tried AMC, but he is not answering right now.

| It looks to have been put in a sack and used as a "Happy Jack."

The more I think on this, Justin, this is not a good idea. These pieces
are such a mess, and if the deal goes bad my name is stuck on it.
I think I'll hand them back to Jimmy and suggest he do a web search
to find someone willing to restore this battered junk.
