Pappaglide, you got the money then go spent it. Why post asking for opinions if all you are gonna get is cheerleaded?

Mike you don't have the money, that's kinda the point I was making. At some point it is about the money not just the hobby. But GOD forbid any one of us should point that out.

I have a 1872, the steering valve just sprung a leak, I don't have the money to fix it because I have everything tied up in another project. This is exactly where you will be at some point unless you have bottomless pockets.

Do what ever you want.
