Woah, that is pretty sweet. Would make one hell of a unique restoration project, that is for sure. I love seeing relics from the past....

Oh cool. That is good to know. I hate seeing a prime piece of history get trashed or left to rot when with a little TLC it could be restored to most (if not all) if its former glory.
