Well put Bill! And I agree if you try to return one on your own to in-service condition it is going to cost you more and I'm afraid I know this first hand (note: I did know what I was getting into, though, so that was not a surprise). But it is alot of fun. And of course a nut & bolt restoration is an even greater example of how it can add up quickly.
